  2. Redshift (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift_(software)

    Redshift is primarily distributed for and used on the Linux operating system.. Redshift can be used to set a single color temperature and brightness ("one-shot mode") or can adjust the temperature and brightness continuously to follow the Sun's elevation, in which case it will transition to the night color temperature settings near twilight.

  4. Magnitude (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    Consequently, a magnitude 1 star is about 2.5 times brighter than a magnitude 2 star, about 2.5 2 times brighter than a magnitude 3 star, about 2.5 3 times brighter than a magnitude 4 star, and so on. This is the modern magnitude system, which measures the brightness, not the apparent size, of stars.

  5. Strömgren photometric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strömgren_photometric_system

    The Strömgren photometric system, abbreviated also as uvbyβ or simply uvby, and sometimes referred as Strömgren - Crawford photometric system, is a four-colour medium-passband photometric system plus Hβ (H-beta) filters for determining magnitudes and obtaining spectral classification of stars.

  6. Radiance (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiance_(software)

    As produced by the Radiance tools this always takes the form of '-Y height +X width'. After this line follows the binary pixel data. Radiance calculates light values as floating point triplets, one each for red, green and blue. But storing a full double precision float for each channel (8 bytes × 3 = 24 bytes) is a burden even for modern systems.
