Sentences with phrase «even ultraviolet wavelengths»

Not exact matches

According to Mather and other leading astronomers now working on a report to be released this summer by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), that quest and others require an even bigger space telescope that would observe, as Hubble does, at optical, ultraviolet and near - infrared wavelengths.

Even down on the Red Planet's surface, the Curiosity rover might be able to get in on the act: Because Mars's atmosphere has no ozone to block ultraviolet light, sensors on the rover will be able to detect those wavelengths and thereby monitor certain trace gases spewing from the comet — unless a dust storm blocks the view to space, Lemmon says.

Martin Mittendorff and his colleagues are now developing their system further so that it will cover an even wider wavelength range, starting with ultraviolet light and going all the way into the far infrared range.

Even now, looking for water vapor in the ultraviolet wavelengths of light tests the limits of Hubble's abilities, scientists said.

Next steps include extending the technique to even shorter wavelengths of light, down to ultraviolet, or 193 nanometers.

Satellites must also be used to study X-rays and gamma rays, which have wavelengths that are even shorter and more energetic than those of ultraviolet rays.

According to http://folk.uio.no/jegill/papers/2002GL015646.pdf «A physical mechanism connecting solar irradiance and low clouds might contain the following components: (1) Over the solar cycle the flux of ultraviolet (UV) radiation varies by several %, and even more so in the short wavelength component of the UV.

However, SIM suggests that ultraviolet irradiance fell far more than expected between 2004 and 2007 — by ten times as much as the total irradiance did — while irradiance in certain visible and infrared wavelengths surprisingly increased, even as solar activity wound down overall.
