Testing the Surface Brightness Fluctuation Method on Dwarf Galaxies in the COSMOS Field [PDF]
Dwarf galaxies are important tracers of small-scale cosmological structure, yet much of our knowledge about these systems comes from the limited sample of dwarf galaxies within the Local Group.

Surface brightness fluctuations, tracers of stellar mass-loss? [PDF]
AbstractWe present optical and IR integrated colors and SBF magnitudes, computed from stellar population synthesis models that include emission from the dusty envelopes surrounding mass-loosing TP-AGB stars. We explore the effects of varying the mass-loss rate by one order of magnitude around the fiducial value, modifying accordingly both the stellar ...

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.

Surface brightness fluctuations and the distance to the Virgo Cluster
Preliminary results from a project to measure the fluxes of giant stars in M32, NGC 3379, and five Virgo Cluster galaxies are presented. Since the Virgo Cluster galaxies are approximately equidistant, variations in observed fluctuation amplitude from galaxy to galaxy can be ascribed to variations in absolute luminosity of the giant stars in the ...

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XVIII. Measurement and Calibration of Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances for Bright Galaxies in Virgo (and Beyond) [PDF]
We describe a program to measure surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances to galaxies observed in the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS), a photometric imaging survey covering 104 deg2 of the Virgo cluster in the u*, g, i, and z bandpasses
