Luminous Supernovae [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2012
Stellar Explosions Stars that are born with masses greater than eight times that of the Sun end their lives in luminous explosions known as supernovae. Over the past decade, access to improved sky surveys has revealed rare types of supernovae that are much more luminous than any of those that were known before.

Luminance-Corrected 3D Point Clouds for Road and Street Environments

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2015
A novel approach to evaluating night-time road and street environment lighting conditions through 3D point clouds is presented. The combination of luminance imaging and 3D point cloud acquired with a terrestrial laser scanner was used for analyzing 3D ...

Dimensionally Specific Capture of Attention: Implications for Saliency Computation

open access: yesVision, 2018
Observers automatically orient to a sudden change in the environment. This is demonstrated experimentally using exogenous cues, which prioritize the analysis of subsequent targets appearing nearby.

Luminous Blue Variables [PDF]

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
Luminous Blue Variables are massive evolved stars, here we introduce this outstanding class of objects. Described are the specific characteristics, the evolutionary state and what they are connected to other phases and types of massive stars. Our current knowledge of LBVs is limited by the fact that in comparison to other stellar classes and phases ...

Improving illuminance performance by implementing a kinetic façade system: case study of office building in Dubai

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2023
Buildings incorporating kinetic architecture are designed to allow parts of the structure to move without reducing the structural integrity of the building. This is believed to substantially improve both energy efficiency and lighting performance.
