Direct Lighting Calculation
The details of doing a Monte Carlo direct lighting calculation are presented. For direct lighting from multiple luminaires, a method of sending one shadow ray per viewing ray is presented, and it is argued that this is preferable for scenes with many luminaires. Some issues of the design of probability densities on unions of luminaire surfaces are discussed.
متن کاملUbiquitous argonium (ArH) in the diffuse interstellar medium: A molecular tracer of almost purely atomic gas
Aims. We describe the assignment of a previously unidentified interstellar absorption line to ArH and discuss its relevance in the context of hydride absorption in diffuse gas with a low H2 fraction. The confidence of the assignment to ArH is discussed, and the column densities are determined toward several lines of sight. The results are then discussed in the framework of chemical models, with...
متن کاملIs HCN a True Tracer of Dense Molecular Gas in LIRGs and ULIRGs?
We present the results of the first HCO survey probing the dense molecular gas content of a sample of 16 luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs). Previous work, based on HCN(1–0) observations, had shown that LIRGs and ULIRGs posses a significantly higher fraction of dense molecular gas compared to normal galaxies. While the picture issued from HCO partly confirms this re...
متن کاملDirect Observation of a Dark State in the Photocycle of a Light-Driven Molecular Motor
Controlling the excited-state properties of light driven molecular machines is crucial to achieving high efficiency and directed functionality. A key challenge in achieving control lies in unravelling the complex photodynamics and especially in identifying the role played by dark states. Here we use the structure sensitivity and high time resolution of UV-pump/IR-probe spectroscopy to build a d...
متن کاملNews Feature: Lighting the way for dark matter.
In 2015 a team of nuclear physicists in Hungary reported an anomalous bump in the signal from radioactive decays of unstable beryllium-8, corresponding to a putative new particle with 34 times the mass of an electron (1). It was largely overlooked at the time, but a year later US theorists suggested that this might point to a new force felt by darkmatter, hinting that themysterious substance is...
