  2. Spectral flux density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_flux_density

    Spectral flux density. In spectroscopy, spectral flux density is the quantity that describes the rate at which energy is transferred by electromagnetic radiation through a real or virtual surface, per unit surface area and per unit wavelength (or, equivalently, per unit frequency). It is a radiometric rather than a photometric measure.

  3. Jansky - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansky

    10−23 erg⋅s−1⋅cm−2⋅Hz−1. The jansky (symbol Jy, plural janskys) is a non- SI unit of spectral flux density, [1] or spectral irradiance, used especially in radio astronomy. It is equivalent to 10 −26 watts per square metre per hertz. The spectral flux density or monochromatic flux, S, of a source is the integral of the spectral ...

  4. Photometry (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometry_(optics)

    The horizontal axis is wavelength in nm. Photometry is a branch of optics that deals with the measurement of light in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye. [1] It is concerned with quantifying the amount of light that is emitted, transmitted, or received by an object or a system. In modern photometry, the radiant power at each ...

  5. Schwarzschild's equation for radiative transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild's_equation...

    In the study of heat transfer, Schwarzschild's equation[1][2][3] is used to calculate radiative transfer (energy transfer via electromagnetic radiation) through a medium in local thermodynamic equilibrium that both absorbs and emits radiation. The incremental change in spectral intensity, [4] (dIλ, [W/sr/m 2 /μm]) at a given wavelength as ...

  6. Surface brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_brightness

    Surface brightness. In astronomy, surface brightness (SB) quantifies the apparent brightness or flux density per unit angular area of a spatially extended object such as a galaxy or nebula, or of the night sky background. An object's surface brightness depends on its surface luminosity density, i.e., its luminosity emitted per unit surface area.

  7. Radiative flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_flux

    Radiative flux. Radiative flux, also known as radiative flux density or radiation flux (or sometimes power flux density[1]), is the amount of power radiated through a given area, in the form of photons or other elementary particles, typically measured in W/m 2. [2] It is used in astronomy to determine the magnitude and spectral class of a star ...

  8. Magnetostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostatics

    Where ∇ with the dot denotes divergence, and B is the magnetic flux density, the first integral is over a surface with oriented surface element . Where ∇ with the cross denotes curl , J is the current density and H is the magnetic field intensity , the second integral is a line integral around a closed loop C {\displaystyle C} with line ...

  9. Shubnikov–de Haas effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubnikov–de_Haas_effect

    Since the electron charge e is known and also the Planck constant h, one can derive the electron density n of a sample from this plot. [3] Shubnikov–De Haas oscillations are observed in highly doped Bi 2 Se 3. [4] Fig 3 shows the reciprocal magnetic flux density 1/B i of the 10th to 14th minima of a Bi 2 Se 3 sample.
