5. 14-16 January, 2009Subaru User’s Meeting (NAOJ) Surveys SNUQSO (Seoul National University Bright Quasar Survey in Optical) Bright quasar survey in the zone of avoidance [PI: Im] IMS (Intermediate-wide, Medium-deep Survey in NIR) ~ 150 square degree NIR imaging survey (~23 AB mag; PI: Im) QSONG (AKARI Spectroscopy Study of Quasars) 2.5 – 5 micron NIR spectroscopy of z > 3.4 quasars (PI: H. M. Lee, M. Im)

6. 14-16 January, 2009Subaru User’s Meeting (NAOJ) AKARI Collaboration Software contribution (1 faculty + several junior scientists at ISAS always) Scientific collaboration (Large surveys, Mission programs) Example: North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Survey (5.8 square degree) : many core Japanese astronomers (mostly ISAS) + 3 key SNU astronomers (H. M. Lee, M. G. Lee, & M. Im) Optical+NIR imaging (BRI + JH) Spectroscopic data (> 1000 redshfits) Papers (11 micron sources, etc) SPICA Collaboration Example 2: CLEVL (Cluster Evolution Study) PI: H. M. Lee (SNU), low-z (M. G. Lee), mid-z (Takagi), high-z (Takagi/Watarai) + Japanese/SNU participants

7. 14-16 January, 2009Subaru User’s Meeting (NAOJ) Previous + Current Subaru-related collaborations Small projects: Stellar clusters (Arimoto + M. G. Lee) IC10 (Karoji, + M. G. Lee, M. Im) High-z galaxy, quasar search projects (PIs: Kashikawa, Hibon, + Im) AKARI-related (Takagi, Wada, Kodama, Hanami, etc + SNU AKARI group) Man Power: NAOJ postdoc (N. Hwang)

8. 14-16 January, 2009Subaru User’s Meeting (NAOJ) Future Collaboration More small collaboration projects Collaboration of large-scale programs, surveys HSC? WFMOS? (AKARI) Scientific projects + Instrumentation projects SNU can possibly lead such collaborations (e.g., CEOU resources) Joint workshop Exchange of research personnel (postdocs, students) http://astro.snu.ac.kr

9. 14-16 January, 2009Subaru User’s Meeting (NAOJ) Possible ideas Two of Astronomy faculties are GMT Korean science working group members (M. G. Lee, & M. Im) Discussion on projects on route to GMT era is on-going (Subaru project?) CEOU is starting a survey project (8-years) and possibly instrument project Funding available 150 square degree NIR imaging survey

10. 14-16 January, 2009Subaru User’s Meeting (NAOJ) CEOU/Astronomy Projects LBGs and star formation at high redshift Proto-cluster of galaxies at z > 2 Quasars (high redshift/low redshift) Low redshift cluster of galaxies AKARI imaging study of extragalactic fields Fundamental plan of early-types GRB follow-up observation Y-band imaging survey CCD Camera (4k x 4k camera, and a new camera with deep depletion chips)
