The artificial sky brightness in Europe derived from DMSP satellite data
P. Cinzano, F. Falchi, C. D. Elvidge +1
We present the map of the artificial sky brightness in Europe in V band with a resolution of approximately 1 km. The aim is to understand the state of night sky pollution in Europe…
Mapping the artificial sky brightness in Europe from DMSP satellite measurements: the situation of the night sky in Italy in the last quarter of century
P. Cinzano, F. Falchi, C. D. Elvidge +1
We present a project to map the artificial sky brightness in Europe in the main astronomical photometrical bands with a resolution better than 3 km. The aim is to understand the st…
The Artificial Sky Luminance And The Emission Angles Of The Upward Light Flux
P. Cinzano, F. J. Diaz Castro
The direction of the upward light emission has different polluting effects on the sky depending on the distance of the observation site. We studied with detailed models for light p…
The Propagation of Light Pollution in Diffusely Urbanised Areas
P. Cinzano
The knowledge of the contribution to the artificial sky luminance in a given point of the sky of a site produced by the sources beyond a given distance from it is impo…
Maps of artificial sky brightness and upward emission in Italy from DMSP satellite measurements
F. Falchi, P. Cinzano
We obtained the map of the zenith brightness of the night sky in Italy. The artificial sky brightness in each site is computed by integration of the contributions by each unitary a…
