Quantifying the visual impact of wind farm lights on the nocturnal landscape
Salvador Bará, Raul C. Lima
Wind farm lights are a conspicuous feature in the nocturnal landscape. Their presence is a source of light pollution for residents and the environment, severely disrupting in some…
A call for scientists to halt the spoiling of the night sky with artificial light and satellites
Fabio Falchi, Salvador Bará, Pierantonio Cinzano +2
Unfettered access to dark night skies is rapidly diminishing, due to light pollution and satellite mega-constellations tracks. Scientists should wake up and do more to stand up to…
Quantitative evaluation of outdoor artificial light emissions using low Earth orbit radiometers
Salvador Bará, Carmen Bao-Varela, Raul C. Lima
Low Earth orbit radiometers allow monitoring nighttime anthropogenic light emissions in wide areas of the planet. In this work we describe a simple model for assessing significant…
Can we illuminate our cities and (still) see the stars?
Salvador Bará, Fabio Falchi, Raul C. Lima +1
Could we enjoy starry skies in our cities again? Arguably yes. The actual number of visible stars will depend, among other factors, on the spatial density of the overall city light…
Keeping light pollution at bay: a red-lines, target values, top-down approach
Salvador Bará, Fabio Falchi, Raul C. Lima +1
The prevailing regulatory framework for light pollution control is based on establishing conditions on individual light sources or single installations (regarding features like ULO…
Monitoring transition: expected night sky brightness trends in different photometric bands
Salvador Bará, Iago Rigueiro, Raul C. Lima
Several light pollution indicators are commonly used to monitor the effects of the transition from outdoor lighting systems based on traditional gas-discharge lamps to solid-state…
Fast Fourier-transform calculation of artificial night sky brightness maps
Salvador Bará, Fabio Falchi, Riccardo Furgoni +1
Light pollution poses a growing threat to optical astronomy, in addition to its detrimental impacts on the natural environment, the intangible heritage of humankind related to the…
Photons without borders: quantifying light pollution transfer between territories
Salvador Bará, Raul C. Lima
The light pollution levels experienced at any given site generally depend on a wide number of artificial light sources distributed throughout the surrounding territory. Since photo…
Light pollution in shallow coastal waters: aquaculture farming in the Galician Atlantic shoreline
Salvador Bará, M. Luz Pérez-Parallé, José L. Sánchez +3
Artificial light at night is a relevant environmental stressor whose unwanted consequences have been documented by a growing body of research. In this work we analize the loss of t…
