Troxler Fading, Eye Movements, and Retinal Ganglion Cell Properties

open access: yesi-Perception, 2014
We present four movies demonstrating the effect of flicker and blur on the magnitude and speed of adaptation for foveal and peripheral vision along the three color axes that isolate retinal ganglion cells projecting to magno, parvo, and konio layers of ...

CalibratedgrizMagnitudes of Tycho Stars: All-Sky Photometric Calibration Using Bright Stars [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008
Photometric calibration to 5% accuracy is frequently needed at arbitrary celestial locations; however, existing all-sky astronomical catalogs do not reach this accuracy and time consuming photometric calibration procedures are required. I fit the Hipparcos B_T and V_T magnitudes along with the 2MASS J, H, and K magnitudes of Tycho-2 catalog-stars with ...

Bright filter-free source of indistinguishable photon pairs

open access: yes, 2008
We demonstrate a high-brightness source of pairs of indistinguishable photons based on a type-II phase-matched doubly-resonant optical parametric oscillator operated far below threshold.

Photoswitchable Conductive Metal–Organic Frameworks

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A conductive material where the conductivity can be modulated remotely by irradiation with light is presented. It is based on films of conductive metal–organic framework type Cu3(HHTP)2 with embedded photochromic molecules such as azobenzene, diarylethene, spiropyran, and hexaarylbiimidazole in the pores.

A flat faint end of the Fornax cluster galaxy luminosity function

open access: yes, 2007
We analyse the photometric properties of the early-type Fornax cluster dwarf galaxy population (M_V>-17 mag), based on a wide field imaging study of the central cluster area in V and I band-passes with IMACS/Magellan at Las Campanas Observatory.

Dual‐Mode Film Based on Highly Scattering Nanofibers and Upcycled Chips‐Bags for Year‐Round Thermal Management

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intelligent radiative cooling devices, adaptable to various weather conditions, have the potential for year‐round energy savings. This study introduces a sustainable dual‐mode film made from polycaprolactone nanofibers and upcycled chip bags for effective thermal management.

MULTISCALE DIFFERENTIAL METHOD FOR DIGITAL IMAGE SHARPENING [PDF]

open access: yesНаучно-технический вестник информационных технологий, механики и оптики, 2014
We have proposed and tested a novel method for digital image sharpening. The method is based on multi-scale image analysis, calculation of differential responses of image brightness in different spatial scales, and the subsequent calculation of a ...

METHODS FOR CORRECTING TOPOGRAPHICAL EFFECTS IN SATELLlTE DATA

open access: yesForestist, 2006
Topography affects magnitude of energy reflected from the terrain to the sensor. which causes radiometric distortion in satellite data. Because of different topographic conditions, same objects show different brightness values in the image.

Analysis of the Gaia Data Release 3 Parallax Bias at Bright Magnitudes

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Abstract The combination of visual and spectroscopic orbits in binary systems enables precise distance measurements without additional assumptions, making them ideal for examining the parallax zero-point offset (PZPO) at bright magnitudes (G < 13) in Gaia.

AgapeZ1: a Large Amplification Microlensing Event or an Odd Variable Star Towards the Inner Bulge of M31

open access: yes, 1998
AgapeZ1 is the brightest and the shortest duration microlensing candidate event found in the Agape data. It occured only 42" from the center of M31. Our photometry shows that the half intensity duration of the event6 is 4.8 days and at maximum brightness
