Neurobiology of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms, 2021 A better understanding of the spatial sensitivity of the human circadian system to photic stimulation can provide practical solutions for optimized circadian light exposures. Two psychophysical experiments, involving 25 adult participants in Experiment 1

Light-at-night, cancer and aging
Aging, 2010 Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that "shift-work that involves circadian disruption is probably carcinogenic to humans" [1]. This conclusion was based upon limited evidence in humans [2,3] and sufficient evidence in experimental animals [4,5]. The current experimental results of Vinogradova and colleagues from

Artificial light impacts the mate success of female fireflies
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Anthropogenic light pollution is a novel environmental disruption that affects the movement, foraging and mating behaviour of nocturnal animals. Most of these effects are sublethal, and their net impact on reproductive fitness and population persistence ...

Evidence for Rapid Variability in the Optical Light Curve of the Type Ia SN 2014J
, 2015 We present results of high-cadence monitoring of the optical light curve of the nearby, Type Ia SN 2014J in M82 using the 2.3m Aristarchos telescope. $B$ and $V$-band photometry on days 15-18 after $t_{max}(B)$, obtained with a cadence of 2 min per band,

The First Detections of the Extragalactic Background Light at 3000, 5500, and 8000A (II): Measurement of Foreground Zodiacal Light [PDF]
, 2001 We present a measurement of the absolute surface brightness of the zodiacal light (3900-5100A) toward a fixed extragalactic target at high ecliptic latitude based on moderate resolution (~1.3A per pixel) spectrophotometry obtained with the du Pont 2.5m ...

Night-sky brightness monitoring in Hong Kong A city-wide light pollution assessment [PDF]
, 2012 Results of the first comprehensive light pollution survey in Hong Kong are presented. The night-sky brightness was measured and monitored around the city using a portable light-sensing device called the Sky QualityMeter over a 15-month period beginning ...
