Assessing light pollution in vast areas: zenith sky brightness maps of Catalonia
Hector Linares, Eduard Masana Salvador J Ribas, Manuel García-Gil +3
Zenith sky brightness maps in the V and B bands of the region of Catalonia are presented in this paper. For creating them we have used the light pollution numerical model Illumina…
Colour remote sensing of the impact of artificial light at night (II): Calibration of DSLR-based images from the International Space Station
Alejandro Sánchez de Miguel, Jaime Zamorano, Martin Aubé +6
Nighttime images taken with DSLR cameras from the International Space Station (ISS) can provide valuable information on the spatial and temporal variation of artificial nighttime l…
PSFs for mapping artificial night sky luminance over large territories
Alexandre Simoneau, Martin Aubé, Jérôme Leblanc +3
Knowledge of the night sky radiance over a large territory may be valuable informationto identify sites appropriate to astronomical observations or for assessing the impacts ofarti…
Restoring the night sky darkness at Observatorio del Teide: First application of the model Illumina version 2
Martin Aubé, Alexandre Simoneau, Casiana Munoz-Tunon +2
The propagation of artificial light into real environments is complex. To perform its numerical modelling with accuracy one must consider hyperspectral properties of the lighting d…
Magnitude to luminance conversions and visual brightness of the night sky
Salvador Bará, Martin Aubé, John Barentine +1
The visual brightness of the night sky is not a single-valued function of its brightness in other photometric bands, because the transformations between photometric systems depend…
Measuring night sky brightness: methods and challenges
Andreas Hänel, Thomas Posch, Salvador J. Ribas +10
Measuring the brightness of the night sky has become an increasingly important topic in recent years, as artificial lights and their scattering by the Earths atmosphere continue sp…
