Naked eye star visibility and limiting magnitude mapped from DMSP-OLS satellite data

P. Cinzano, F. Falchi, C. D. Elvidge

We extend the method introduced by Cinzano et al. (2000a) to map the artificial sky brightness in large territories from DMSP satellite data, in order to map the naked eye star vis…

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…
