Earth's Albedo 1998-2017 as Measured From Earthshine
The reflectance of the Earth is a fundamental climate parameter that we measured from Big Bear Solar Observatory between 1998 and 2017 by observing the...
Earth's albedo variations 1998-2014 as measured from ground-based earthshine observations
The Earth's albedo is a fundamental climate parameter for understanding the radiation budget of the atmosphere. It has been traditionally measured not only from...
Earth's transmission spectrum from lunar eclipse observations
Of the 342 planets so far discovered orbiting other stars, 58 `transit' the stellar disk, meaning that they can be detected through a periodic decrease in the...
Earthshine observations at high spectral resolution: exploring and detecting metal lines in the Earth's upper atmosphere
Observations of the Earth as a planet using the earthshine technique (i.e. looking at the light reflected from the dark side of the Moon) have been used for...
East or Easter? keys to the orientation of Romanesque churches along the way of Saint James
The pilgrimage along the Way of Saint James constituted the principal mechanism for the introduction of new currents of thought into the Iberian Peninsula, such...
Echo-free quality factor of a multilayer axion haloscope
We report a methodology to determine the quality factor ( Q) of wavy dark matter detectors equipped with multilayered resonators, including Fabry-Pérot...
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our...
We present simultaneous X-ray (RXTE) and optical (ULTRACAM) narrow-band (Bowen blend/HeII and nearby continuum) observations of Sco X-1 at 2-10 Hz time...
On June 30, 1973, Concorde 001 intercepted the path of a solar eclipse over North Africa, Flying at Mach 2.05 the aircraft provided seven observers from France...
