Abstract: In order to evaluate the ground-based infrared telescope sensitivity affected by the noise from the atmosphere, instruments and detectors, we construct a sensitivity model that can calculate limiting magnitudes and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). The model… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1570
Abstract: Atmospheric turbidity is one of key factors influencing the propagation of artificial light into environment during cloudless nights. High aerosol loading can reduce the visibility of astronomical objects, thus the information on atmospheric pollution is… read more here.
