A Phase Transition of Luminous Atmospheres
We show that atmospheres having a nonnegligible radiative support undergo a second order phase transition above a critical radiative ux. This ux is less than but of order of the ux that corresponds to the Eddington luminosity limit. The trivial exponentially decaying solution, namely, the horizontally uniform solution, is energetically preferred for uxes below the critical one. However, the pre...
متن کاملThe Total Luminous Efficiency of Luminous Bacteria
Methods are described for measuring the light emitted by an emulsion of luminous bacteria of given thickness, and calculating the light emitted by a single bacterium, measuring 1.1 x 2.2 micra, provided there is no absorption of light in the emulsion. At the same time, the oxygen consumed by a single bacterium was measured by recording the time for the bacteria to use up .9 of the oxygen dissol...
متن کاملMagnetohydrostatic atmospheres
We show that the atmospheric and magnetic height variations are coupled in all magnetohydrostatic (MHS) equilibria with gravity if any isolated weak evacuated flux tubes or hydrostatically connected non-force-free fields are present. In gas-dominated regimes, as in stellar photospheres, flux tubes expand with height to maintain pressure balance with the ambient giving a ‘magnetic canopy’ in the...
متن کاملUrban atmospheres
What is an urban atmosphere? How can we differentiate an 'atmosphere' from other facets of urban consciousness and experience? This essay explores some of the wider cultural, political, and philosophical connotations of atmospheres as a focal point for critical reflections on space and subjectivity. The idea of an 'affective atmosphere' as a distinctive kind of mood or shared corporeal phenomen...
متن کاملLuminous Phenomena of Earthquakes: Observations and Theories
Over the past few years, different theories (piezoelectric, positive holes, friction-vaporization, exo-electron emission, tribo- or fracture electrification) have been presented for the interpretation of earthquake lights. Although these theories can interpret earthquake luminous, each suffer from particular problems. There are also ambiguities and questions about the location of the light, the...
