Spatiotemporal Variability of Heat Storage in Major U.S. Cities—A Satellite-Based Analysis

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Heat storage, ΔQs, is quantified for 10 major U.S. cities using a method called the thermal variability scheme (TVS), which incorporates urban thermal mass parameters and the variability of land surface temperatures.

Analytical model for non-thermal pressure in galaxy clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Non-thermal pressure in the intracluster gas has been found ubiquitously in numerical simulations, and observed indirectly. In this paper we develop an analytical model for intracluster non-thermal pressure in the virial region of relaxed clusters.

Internal thermal noise in the LIGO test masses : a direct approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The internal thermal noise in LIGO's test masses is analyzed by a new technique, a direct application of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem to LIGO's readout observable, $x(t)=$(longitudinal position of test-mass face, weighted by laser beam's Gaussian ...

Relativistic gravitational collapse by thermal mass [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Theoretical Physics, 2020
Abstract Gravity and thermal energy are universal phenomena which compete over the stabilization of astrophysical systems. The former induces an inward pressure driving collapse and the latter a stabilizing outward pressure generated by random motion and energy dispersion.
