论文摘要
爆炸的图像可用于研究其某些物理特性。在回顾了最初开发的用于研究第一次核爆炸和分析三位一体爆炸数据的方法的关键方面之后，该方法通过使用在线发布的视频中的图像，将该方法应用于2020年8月的贝鲁特爆炸。讨论了该方法的适用性，并提出了数据的选择，提取和分析的过程。发现贝鲁特爆炸的能量收益率的估计值为$ 2.3^{+1.1} _ { - 1.1} $ tj或$ 0.6^{+0.3} _ { - 0.3} $ kt tnt等效。结果与最近使用不同方法出现在文献中的其他结果一致。请注意，本文包含一些读者可能会感到痛苦的内容。
Images of an explosion can be used to study some of its physical properties. After reviewing the key aspects of the method originally developed to study the first nuclear detonation and analyzing the Trinity blast data, the method is applied to the Beirut explosion of August 2020 by using images from videos posted online. The applicability of the method is discussed and the process of selection, extraction, and analysis of the data is presented. The estimate for the energy yield of the Beirut explosion is found to be $2.3^{+1.1}_{-1.1}$ TJ or $0.6^{+0.3}_{-0.3}$ kt of TNT equivalent. The result is consistent with others recently appeared in the literature using different methods. Notice that this article includes content that some readers may find distressing.
