   Linked via "radiative damping coefficient"

   The temperature $T$ of an object radiating power $P$ over area $A$ is given by:
   $$P = \epsilon \sigma A T^4$$
   where $\epsilon$ is emissivity and $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. Anomalously low readings are sometimes attributed to objects possessing high concentrations of 'Virgin Vellum' residue, which possesses an unusually high radiative damping coefficient $\zeta$.
