Power spectrum estimation methods on intracluster medium surface brightness fluctuations [PDF]
Accurate estimation of galaxy cluster masses is a central problem in cosmology. Turbulence is believed to introduce significant deviations from the hydrostatic mass estimates.

A synthesis of data from fundamental plane and surface brightness fluctuation surveys [PDF]
We perform a series of comparisons between distance-independent photometric and spectroscopic properties used in the surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) and fundamental plane (FP) methods of early-type galaxy distance estimation. The data are taken from two recent surveys: the SBF Survey of Galaxy Distances and the Streaming Motions of Abell Clusters

We compare infrared surface brightness fluctuation (IR SBF) distances measured in galaxies that have hosted type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to distances estimated from SNe Ia light-curve fits.

A Dynamic Threshold Cloud Detecting Approach based on the Brightness Temperature from FY-2 VISSR Data [PDF]
The traditional statistical methods and radiation transfer theory methods for cloud detecting have a high adaptability just only in those areas with a uniform surface coverage and noncomplex terrain.

When the surface strain field of concrete structure is measured by digital image correlation(DIC)technology under complex light conditions, the decorrelation effect of the pattern will be caused by the variation in light intensity.

Etherington duality breaking: gravitational lensing in non-metric spacetimes versus intrinsic alignments [PDF]
The Etherington distance duality relation is well-established for metric theories of gravity, and confirms the duality between the luminosity distance and the angular diameter distance through the conservation of surface brightness. A violation of the Etherington distance duality due to lensing in a non-metric spacetime would lead to fluctuations in ...

Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuations of Magellanic Star Clusters [PDF]
We present surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) in the near--IR for 191 Magellanic star clusters available in the Second Incremental and All Sky Data releases of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and compare them with SBFs of Fornax Cluster galaxies and with predictions from stellar population models. Our goals are twofold.

ON THE NATURE OF X-RAY SURFACE BRIGHTNESS FLUCTUATIONS IN M87 [PDF]
ABSTRACT X-ray images of galaxy clusters and gas-rich elliptical galaxies show a wealth of small-scale features that reflect fluctuations in density and/or temperature of the intracluster medium. In this paper we study these fluctuations in M87/Virgo to establish whether sound waves/shocks, bubbles, or uplifted cold gas dominate the ...
