CCD photometric observations of the globular cluster (GC), M53 (NGC 5024), are performed using the 1.8 m telescope at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory in Korea on the same nights (2002 April and 2003 May) as the observations of the GC M92 (NGC 6341) reported by Cho and Lee using the same instrumental setup. The data for M53 is reduced using the same method as used for M92 by Cho and Lee, including preprocessing, point-spread function fitting photometry, and standardization etc. Therefore, M53 and M92 are on the same photometric system defined by Landolt, and the photometry of M53 and M92 is tied together as closely as possible. After complete photometric reduction, the V versus B − V , V versus V − I, and V versus B − I color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of M53 are produced to derive the relative ages of M53 and M92 and derive the various characteristics of its CMDs in future analysis. From the present analysis, the relative ages of M53 and M92 are derived using the
(B − V ) method reported by VandenBerg et al. The relative age of M53 is found to be 1.6 ± 0.85 Gyr younger than that of M92 if the absolute age of M92 is taken to be 14 Gyr. This relative age difference between M53 and M92 causes slight differences in the horizontal-branch morphology of these two GCs.

위성항법시스템의 기술발전이 지속적으로 진행되고 있지만 여전히 신호차폐가 빈번히 발생하는 지역에서는 측위정확도 확보에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이 연구에서는 통합 GPS/GLONASS 이중차분 상대측위 알고리즘을 구현하고 신호차폐 환경의 시뮬레이션을 수행해 그 성능을 검증하였다. 동쪽, 서쪽, 남쪽 방향으로 고층건물에 의해 신호차폐가 발생하는 환경을 시뮬레이션 하고 시뮬레이션 상황에 따른 GPS와 GPS/GLONASS의 정확도 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 신호차폐 시뮬레이션 환경에서는 GPS/GLONASS가 GPS에 비해 최소 0.3m에서 최대 13m이상의 수평정확도가 향상되었다.
