A Clearer View of a Dusty Sky

The theory of inflation hypothesizes that the Universe underwent a period of rapid expansion less than 10−32 seconds after its birth [1]. If inflation occurred, physicists believe it would have produced large-scale gravitational waves, imprinting a slight swirl-like polarization—known as B modes—on the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the light generated when the Universe was 380,000 years ol...

Derivation of sky view factors from LIDAR data

The use of Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging), an active light-emitting instrument, is becoming increasingly common for a range of potential applications. Its ability to provide fine resolution spatial and vertical resolution elevation data makes it ideal for a wide range of studies. This paper demonstrates the capability of Lidar data to measure sky view factors (SVF). The Lidar data is used ...
