  2. Illuminating Engineering Society - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminating_Engineering...

    The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), is an industry-backed, not-for-profit, learned society that was founded in New York City on January 10, 1906. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The IES's stated mission is "to improve the lighted environment by bringing together those with lighting knowledge and by translating that knowledge into actions that benefit the ...

  3. Direct electron ionization liquid chromatography–mass ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_electron_ionization...

    A typical EI spectrum, in general, has extensive structural information, and a cheaper, single-stage mass spectrometer might be sufficient for analyte characterization or identification. As a rule of the thumb, nanogram-level sensitivity is obtained in full-scan mode for most substances. Linearity and reproducibility are two point of strength ...

  4. Stellar corona - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_corona

    The "E-corona" is the component of the corona with an emission-line spectrum, either inside or outside the wavelength band of visible light. It is a phenomenon of the ion component of the plasma, as individual ions are excited by collision with other ions or electrons, or by absorption of ultraviolet light from the Sun.

  5. Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph - Wikipedia

    C2 - a white light coronagraph imaging from 1.5 to 6 solar radii (orange) C3 - a white light coronagraph imaging from 3.7 to 30 solar radii (blue) The first principal investigator was Dr. Guenter Brueckner. These coronagraphs monitor the solar corona by using an optical system to create, in effect, an artificial solar eclipse. The white light ...

  6. Corona (optical phenomenon) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_(optical_phenomenon)

    Lunar corona A solar corona up Beinn Mhòr (South Uist). In meteorology, a corona (plural coronae) is an optical phenomenon produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight (or, occasionally, bright starlight or planetlight) [1] by individual small water droplets and sometimes tiny ice crystals of a cloud or on a foggy glass surface.

  7. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

    Standards FL7–FL9 represent "broadband" (full-spectrum light) fluorescent lamps with multiple phosphors, and higher CRIs. Standards FL10–FL12 represent narrow triband illuminants consisting of three "narrowband" emissions (caused by ternary compositions of rare-earth phosphors) in the R,G,B regions of the visible spectrum, which leads to ...

  8. Coronagraph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronagraph

    Coronagraph instruments are extreme examples of stray light rejection and precise photometry because the total brightness from the solar corona is less than one-millionth the brightness of the Sun. The apparent surface brightness is even fainter because, in addition to delivering less total light, the corona has a much greater apparent size ...

  9. Coronal loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_loop

    Full-disk mosaic of the million-degree corona by TRACE. In August 1991, the solar observatory spacecraft Yohkoh launched from the Kagoshima Space Center. During its 10 years of operation, it revolutionized X-ray observations. Yohkoh carried four instruments; of particular interest is the SXT instrument, which observed X-ray-emitting coronal loops.
