We study the effect of galactic outflows on the statistical properties of the Lyα forest and its correlation with galaxies. The winds are modelled as fully ionised spherical bubbles centered around the haloes in an N-body simulation of a ΛCDM model. The observed flux probability distribution and flux power spectrum limit the volume filling factor of bubbles to be less than 10%. We have compared...

Error estimates are derived for the approximate identification of an unknown transmissivity coefficient in a partial differential equation describing a model problem in groundwater now. The approximation scheme considered determines the coefficient by least squares fitting of the observed pressure data.

Atmospheric profile variability impacts the effectiveness of hyperspectral remote sensing systems to identify geological materials from space. This variability alters the "truth" spectrum (e.g. reflective or emissive) by modifying its spectrum through such atmospheric factors as transmissivity, upwelling radiance, and downwelling radiance. Incomplete characterization of these effects can lead t...

The in-scene atmospheric compensation (ISAC) algorithm of Young et al. (2002) [14] (and as implemented in the ENVI software system [16] as ‘Thermal Atm Correction’) is commonly applied to thermal infrared multiand hyperspectral imagery (MSI and HSI, respectively). ISAC estimates atmospheric transmissivity and upwelling radiance using only the scene data. The ISAC-derived transmissivity and upwe...

Ultrafast dynamics of Dirac fermions near the Fermi surface in monolayer and multilayer graphene are revealed using optical pump mid-infrared probe spectroscopy. The energy loss rate of Dirac fermions is also determined via energy-resolved transient transmissivity spectra, which is significantly suppressed as the number of layers in graphene increases.

We carry out cosmological chemodynamical simulations with different strengths of supernova (SN) feedback and study how galactic winds from star-forming galaxies affect the features of hydrogen (HI) and metal (CIV and OVI) absorption systems in the intergalactic medium at high redshift. We find that the outflows tend to escape to low density regions, and hardly affect the dense filaments visible...
