Mapping the brightness and color of urban to rural skyglow with all-sky photometry
Andreas Jechow, Christopher C. M. Kyba, Franz Hölker
Artificial skyglow is a form of light pollution with wide ranging implications on the environment. The extent, intensity and color of skyglow depends on the artificial light source…
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…
The nature of the diffuse light near cities detected in nighttime satellite imagery
Alejandro Sánchez de Miguel, Christopher C. M. Kyba, Jaime Zamorano +2
Diffuse glow has been observed around brightly lit cities in nighttime satellite imagery since at least the first publication of large scale maps in the late 1990s. In the literatu…
Tracking the dynamics of skyglow with differential photometry using a digital camera with fisheye lens
Andreas Jechow, Salvador J. Ribas, Ramon Canal-Domingo +3
Artificial skyglow is dynamic due to changing atmospheric conditions and the switching on and off of artificial lights throughout the night. Street lights as well as the ornamental…
Using all-sky differential photometry to investigate how nocturnal clouds darken the night sky in rural areas
Andreas Jechow, Franz Hölker, Christopher C. M. Kyba
Artificial light at night has affected most of the natural nocturnal landscapes worldwide and the subsequent light pollution has diverse effects on flora, fauna and human well-bein…
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…
Imaging and mapping the impact of clouds on skyglow with all-sky photometry
Andreas Jechow, Zoltán Kolláth, Salvador J. Ribas +3
Artificial skyglow is constantly growing on a global scale, with potential ecological consequences ranging up to affecting biodiversity. To understand these consequences, worldwide…
The new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness
Fabio Falchi, Pierantonio Cinzano, Dan Duriscoe +6
Artificial lights raise night sky luminance, creating the most visible effect of light pollution-artificial skyglow. Despite the increasing interest among scientists in fields such…
