I prefer to call it heat. Just to clarify the picture.

I prefer to call it heat. Just to clarify the picture.
- alterom 1y ago>visible light
- cenamus 1y ago> 10–10^3 photons cm^–2 s^–1 So probably invisible but under the very darkest of conditions?
- ricardobeat 1y agoVisible refers to being in the visible spectrum.
- SkiFire13 1y agoI thought black bodies emitted light the whole spectrum, albeit with differences in the distribution depending on their temperature?
- Sharlin 1y agoYep, but the exponential decay at the short-wavelength end means you're going to hit a single-digit number of photons/m^2/s fairly quickly.
- griffzhowl 1y agoThis is specifically not thermal (blackbody) radiation, which is negligible at the visible frequency range for mice at these temperatures. The researchers find a difference in visible wavelength emission between living and dead mice at the same temperature This point is addressed on page 2 of the paper.

- somenameforme 1y agoYou should post this as a top-level comment because it's extremely informative and most of everybody is just assuming this is just talking about thermal radiation.
