A high geometric albedo and small size of the Haumea cluster member (24835) 1995 SM55 from a stellar occultation and photometric observations

J. L. Ortiz, N. Morales, B. Sicardy +98

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are among the most ancient bodies of the solar system. Understanding their physical properties is key to constraining their origin and the evolution…

Revisiting the extremely long-period cataclysmic variables V479 Andromedae and V1082 Sagitarii

Gagik Tovmassian, Diogo Belloni, Anna F. Pala +56

The overwhelming majority of CVs have orbital periods shorter than 10 hr. However, a few have much longer periods, and their formation and existence pose challenges for the CV evol…

Recovering the city street lighting fraction from skyglow measurements in a large-scale municipal dimming experiment

John C. Barentine, František Kundracik, Miroslav Kocifaj +7

Anthropogenic skyglow dominates views of the natural night sky in most urban settings, and the associated emission of artificial light at night (ALAN) into the environment of citie…

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…

Skyglow Changes Over Tucson, Arizona, Resulting From A Municipal LED Street Lighting Conversion

John C. Barentine, Constance E. Walker, Miroslav Kocifaj +4

The transition from earlier lighting technologies to white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is a significant change in the use of artificial light at night. LEDs emit considerably more…
