... Some studies were carried out using nearinfrared spectroscopy (NIR) to estimate wood moisture. Thy- gesen and Lundqvist (2000) have investigated the thermal effects on NIR spectra for estimating moisture ...
... Recently, Gillon et al. (2009c) published secondary eclipse depths of 0.510% ± 0.042% and 0.41% ± 0.11% at 4.5 and 8 μm, respectively, from Spitzer observations which led these investigators to also favor models of ...
... Correct identification of species in wood and charcoal commerce is important, and rapid and nondestructive evaluation based on near-infrared techniques can be a good alternative. Four trees from Combretum ...
... Near-infrared transmittance spectroscopy was used to predict the percentage in weight of fat, dry matter, protein contents and of the fat/dry matter ratio in Zamorano cheeses, protected with a Designation ...
... The VISTA 4.1m telescope at the Paranal Observatory (Emerson & Sutherland 2010) is equiped with the instrument VIRCAM (VISTA InfraRed CAMera; Emerson et al. 2006; Dalton et al. 2006). The camera contains 16 ...
... Soil water repellency (WR) is a widespread phenomenon caused by aggregated organic matter (OM) and layers of hydrophobic organic substances coating the surface of soil particles. These substances have a very low surface ...
... Our sample of 36 M dwarfs were observed with the near-infrared echelle spectrograph NIR- SPEC (Mclean et al. 1998) installed at the Keck II 10-m telescope. NIRSPEC is a cryogenic cross-dispersed echelle ...
... The determination of the fundamental stellar parameters, such as the effective temper- ature and metallicity is a classical task in astronomy. In general, the more widely used methods can be divided into two main groups, ...
... analysis. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIR) is accepted worldwide as a tool for the analysis of several chemi- cal constituents in different fields such as pharmaceuticals, food industries, ...
... make tests on the radial number of galaxies because we have a small zone-of-avoidance, see Figure 1 in Huchra et al. (2012). The number of galaxies as a function of the redshift, z, is strictly related to the chosen ...
... In the present paper we extend the analysis of Paper I by adding almost 3 years of new data (2007 March to 2010 January) to cover a total period of almost 8 years. In the first part of the paper we calculate the seasonal ...
... HST near-infrared bands, using as well optical HST archive data when available, plus IRAC and/or ground-based optical/near-infrared measurements for single-component sys- ...
... massive near- infrared surveys like the VVV Survey (Minniti et ...The near-infrared detections of J0855−0714 reported here are brighter than the limit of what could be detected by the Euclid 5 ...
... The NGVS-IR observations for the pilot field were car- ried out at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), us- ing the Wide-field InfraRed Camera (WIRCam; Puget et al. 2004). WIRCam is mounted at the prime ...
... The metallicity was then calculated from the globular clus- ter metallicity indicator developed by Frogel et al. (2001). Their method is based on moderate-resolution near-IR spectroscopy in the K band of six to ...
... The instrumental polarization IP is usually corrected for in imaging polarimetry by subtracting the polarized light measured at the position of the central star.. This is equivalent to a[r] ...
... Indeed, the spectroscopic surveys can provide much more detailed information about individual objects than any medium- band photometric survey. However, for all those purposes where that detailed information is not ...
