astronomical observations from space benefit from improved sensitivity, the effectiveness of scientific programs is becoming limited by systematics that often originate in poorly understood image sensor behavior.
Abstract: As astronomical
observations from space benefit from improved sensitivity, the effectiveness of scientific programs is becoming limited by systematics that often originate in poorly understood image sensor behavior.
Says Zeitlin, «This is the first study
using observations from space to confirm what has been thought for some time — that plastics and other lightweight materials are pound - for - pound more effective for shielding against cosmic radiation than aluminum.
«With the results from the WB - 57s and
complementary observations from space and other experiments on the ground we have an opportunity to answer some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of the corona.»
High -
precision observations from space - based observatories like Kepler or the Hubble Space Telescope can detect emission from the exoplanet as its dayside rotates in and out of view during its orbit, which astronomers can use to construct rotational brightness maps and study how energy is redistributed across the exoplanet.
SPICA mission provides us with a unique opportunity to make high contrast observations because of its large telescope aperture, the simple pupil shape, and the capability for making
infrared observations from space.
Doing this enables MATISSE to deliver the sharpest images of any telescope ever in the 3 — 13 μm wavelength range, where it will complement the James Webb Space Telescope's
future observations from space.»
A research team constructed an ultra high - resolution data set gathered from 16 years of
LIS observations from space to identify and rank lightning hotspots.
Thanks to the availability of
unprecedented observations from space and ever increasing computational power, ours is the age in which the physical laws that govern climate as an aggregate system will likely be discovered.
Observations from space reveal that the total radiation from the Sun is continually changing — with variations of up to 0.2 percent from one month to the next.
Foster says
the observations from space validate measurements from the ground.
Session topics revolved around the six Grand Science Challenges of the WCRP and addressed the specific need for, and role of, climate
observations from space.
