Sentences with phrase «high energy radiation sources»

Not exact matches

The country's newest space lab, Tiangong - 2, for example, hosts a number of scientific payloads, including an advanced atomic clock and a $ 3.4 - million detector called POLAR for the study of γ - ray bursts — blasts of high - energy radiation from collapsing stars and other sources.

But the high - energy radiation from the source has shown no sign of dying down, which suggests that astronomers may have caught a star in the process of being ripped to shreds by a black hole.

The correlation we observed is compatible with the hypothesis that the highest - energy particles originate from nearby extragalactic sources whose flux has not been substantially reduced by interaction with the cosmic background radiation.

Such a telescope would use large arrays of ground - based telescopes to detect blue flashes of Cerenkov radiation, which are caused by very high energy gamma - ray photons from cosmic sources smashing into the atmosphere.

The PBCr developed will be used for the construction of novel light sources of high - energy monochromatic electromagnetic radiation by means of a Crystalline Undulator (CU).

It does seem at first glance that a warm troposphere would warm the stratosphere, but the explanation that more of the earth - sourced infrared radiation is absorbed lower in the the troposphere by higher levels of CO2 makes sense if one thinks about the thermodynamic losses involved in the CO2 re-radiation processes; some of the earth - sourced infrared is transformed into kinetic energy and only a fraction is reradiated as more infrared radiation (if I'm understanding correctly).

Tom Vonk is correct when he says that the following statements are over-simplifications and need corrections (in caps): «CO2 absorbs AND EMITS the outgoing infrared energy and warms the atmosphere TO A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN IT WOULD HAVE WITHOUT CO2» — or — «CO2 traps part of the infrared radiation between ground and the upper part of the atmosphere» AND IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF INFRARED RADIATION FROM THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE radiation between ground and the upper part of the atmosphere» AND IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF INFRARED RADIATION FROM THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE RADIATION FROM THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE TO SPACE.

It might help you if you had a few concepds in mind too when considering this subject, like «space» is the big energy «sink» with old sol (and the internal heat generating processes (including nuclear) of the earth) as sources... any mechanism that results in a delay of energy leaving earth, such as a «bounce - back» or a re-rad of energy (like back radiation) certainly is going to increase the «energy flux» in the system, and this in any way you want to frame the argument translates to a «higher» energy state, and a higher so - called temperature» (movement in matter, velocity of air molecules or oscillations in certain «resonant molecules) as well.

If a second blackbody object (no internal thermal energy source but with thermal conduction properties such that independent of the direction of incident radiation on the second object, the second object's surface temperature will be everywhere the same) is placed next to but NOT touching the original object, when the two - object system reaches steady state (i.e., for each object, the rate of energy leaving the object will equal the rate of energy entering the object), the surface temperature of the original object in the presence of the second object will be higher than it was in the absence of the second object.
