Aerospace | 1. In astrophysics, the temperature of a black body radiating the same amount of energy per unit area at the wavelengths under consideration as the observed body. Compare effective temperature, antenna temperature.2. The temperature of a nonblack body determined by measurement with an optical pyrometer. (references) |
Science | A measure of the intensity of radiation thermally emitted by an object, given in units of temperature because there is a proportional correlation between the intensity of the radiation emitted and physical temperature of the radiating body. (references) |
