Evaluating Potential Spectral Impacts of Various Artificial Lights on Melatonin Suppression, Photosynthesis, and Star Visibility
TL;DR: Three new indices to characterize lamp spectra have been designed to allow a quick estimation of the potential impact of a lamp spectrum on melatonin suppression, photosynthesis, and star visibility and are proposed as new standards for the lighting industry to be used in characterizing their lighting technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-pollution model for cloudy and cloudless night skies with ground-based light sources
TL;DR: The scalable theoretical model of light pollution for ground sources is presented and the parametric character of the model enables its efficient usage by illuminating engineers and/or astronomers in the study of various light-pollution situations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scattering of electromagnetic waves by charged spheres and some physical consequences
Jozef Klačka,Miroslav Kocifaj +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of electromagnetic radiation scattering on homogeneous spherical dust particle which carries excess surface electric charge is investigated, and the results show that the surface charge may influence optical properties of very small particles with size parameter x less than 0.01 (astronomical materials like amorphous carbon and silicate are affected also at x ≈ 0.03 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sky Quality Meter measurements in a colour-changing world
A. Sánchez de Miguel,A. Sánchez de Miguel,A. Sánchez de Miguel,Martin Aubé,Jaime Zamorano,Miroslav Kocifaj,Miroslav Kocifaj,Johanne Roby,C. Tapia +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the STARS4ALL project and ORISON project funded by the European Union H2020-ICT-2015-688135 and H 2020-INFRASUPP-15-2.
BookDOI
Optics of cosmic dust
Gorden Videen,Miroslav Kocifaj +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a method for calculating the optical fields inside Spheroidal Particles of Cosmic Dust: Comparison of Different Methods: GMT, T-Matrix, SVM V.A.Voshchinnikov, P.K. Babenko, A.V. Shkuratov, and A.G. Petrov.
