About Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences

The Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences (JASS; J. Astron. Space Sci.) is the official publication of the Korean Space Science Society (KSSS), the most prestigious academic society in the fields of space science and space applications in Korea. JASS is an international journal devoted to the publication of fundamental and applied investigations in all aspects of spacerelated science and technology. It was launched in 1984 and is published quarterly. Each article published is assigned a unique DOI that serves to identify the article in the digital environment. JASS is an open access journal; consequently, the full texts of articles are free for all users to read and use. The papers published in JASS are accessible on the journal homepage (http://janss.kr), the DOAJ website, and the SAO/NASA ADS website. JASS has been indexed by KCI and SCOPUS since 2007 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, JASS was re-indexed by DOAJ and newly indexed in the ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index) by Clarivate Analytics in 2017. This journal is supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for the publication of scientific research from the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST).

A search coil magnetometer (SCM) is a common equipment to observe energy transmission and vibrations in space physics, enabling measurements across a wide frequency range of up to tens of kilohertz. This study proposes the designs of a magnetic core that allows a low-mass sensor and improves its performance: a rod core, sheet-stacked core, and rolling-sheet core. Subsequently, the performance of each sensor was investigated. The sheet-stacked core using the cobalt-based alloy exhibited the highest sensitivity, although it exhibited instability ...

Classification of Gravitational Waves from Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers with Machine Learning

Nurzhan Ussipov, Zeinulla Zhanabaev, Almat Akhmetali, Marat Zaidyn, Dana Turlykozhayeva, Aigerim Akniyazova, Timur Namazbayev

J. Astron. Space Sci. 2024;41(3):149-158.
https://doi.org/10.5140/JASS.2024.41.3.149

This study developed a machine learning-based methodology to classify gravitational wave (GW) signals from black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) mergers by combining convolutional neural network (CNN) with conditional information for feature extraction. The model was trained and validated on a dataset of simulated GW signals injected to Gaussian noise to mimic real world signals. We considered all three types of merger: binary black hole (BBH), binary neutron star (BNS) and neutron star-black hole (NSBH). We achieved up to 96% correct classification ...

The Resident Space Object Detection Method Based on the Connection between the Fourier Domain Image of the Video Data Difference Frame and the Orbital Velocity Projection

Vasilina Baranova, Alexander Spiridonov, Dmitrii Ushakov, Vladimir Saetchnikov

J. Astron. Space Sci. 2024;41(3):159-170.
https://doi.org/10.5140/JASS.2024.41.3.159

A method for resident space object detection in video stream processing using a set of matched filters has been proposed. Matched filters are constructed based on the connection between the Fourier spectrum shape of the difference frame and the magnitude of the linear velocity projection onto the observation plane. Experimental data were obtained using the mobile optical surveillance system for low-orbit space objects. The detection problem in testing mode was solved for raw video data with intensity signals from three satellites: KORONAS-FOTON...

https://doi.org/10.5140/JASS.2024.41.3.171

This study reports comprehensive observations for the G5-level geomagnetic storm that occurred from May 10 to 12, 2024, the most intense event since the 2003 Halloween storm. The storm was triggered by a series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) originating from the merging of two active regions 13664/13668, which formed a large and complex photospheric magnetic configuration and produced X-class flares in early May 2024. Among the events, the most significant CME, driven by an X2.2 flare on May 9, caught up with and merged with a preceding slowe...

As human exploration goals shift from missions in low Earth orbit (LEO) to long-duration interplanetary missions, radiation protection remains one of the key technological issues that must be resolved. The low Earth orbit space radiation dosimeter (LEO-DOS) instrument to measure radiation levels and create a global dose map in the LEO on board the the next generation small satellite-2 (NEXTSat-2) was launched successfully on May 25, 2023 using the Nuri KSLV-III in Korea. The NEXTSat-2 orbits the Earth every 100 minutes, in an orbit with an incl...
