Planet-wide, Concentric Density Waves in Venus's Upper Atmosphere Revealed through Polarimetry?
Gourav Mahapatra, Michiel Rodenhuis, Frans Snik +3
We report observations of faint (), concentric, planet-wide rings in the polarized flux of sunlight that is reflected by Venus, obtained during a serendipitous, 36-minute…
From exo-Earths to exo-Venuses -- Flux and Polarization Signatures of Reflected Light
Gourav Mahapatra, Fouad Abiad, Loic Rossi +1
Terrestrial exoplanets in habitable zones are ubiquitous. It is, however, unknown which have Earth-like or Venus-like climates. Distinguishing different planet-types is crucial for…
Stratigraphic and Isotopic Evolution of the Martian Polar Caps from Paleo-Climate Models
E. Vos, O. Aharonson, N. Schorghofer +4
Exposed scarps images and ice-penetrating radar measurements in the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) of Mars show alternating layers that provide an archive of past climate osci…
Ariel: Enabling planetary science across light-years
Giovanna Tinetti, Paul Eccleston, Carole Haswell +313
Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. Durin…
Colors of an Earth-like exoplanet -- Temporal flux and polarization signals of the Earth
A. Groot, L. Rossi, V. J. H. Trees +2
Understanding the total flux and polarization signals of Earth-like planets and their spectral and temporal variability is essential for the future characterization of such exoplan…
Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry as a Tool for Understanding the Diversity of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
L. Fossati, L. Rossi, D. Stam +19
The polarization state of starlight reflected by a planetary atmosphere uniquely reveals coverage, particle size, and composition of aerosols as well as changing cloud patterns. It…
Traces of exomoons in computed flux and polarization phase curves of starlight reflected by exoplanets
Javier Berzosa Molina, Loic Rossi, Daphne M. Stam
Context: Detecting moons around exoplanets is a major goal of current and future observatories. Moons are suspected to influence rocky exoplanet habitability, and gaseous exoplanet…
Circular polarization signals of cloudy (exo)planets
Loïc Rossi, Daphne M. Stam
The circular polarization of light that planets reflect is often neglected because it is very small compared to the linear polarization. It could, however, provide information on a…
PyMieDAP: a Python--Fortran tool to compute fluxes and polarization signals of (exo)planets
Loïc Rossi, Javier Berzosa-Molina, Daphne M. Stam
PyMieDAP (the Python Mie Doubling-Adding Programme) is a Python--based tool for computing the total, linearly, and circularly polarized fluxes of incident unpolarized sun- or starl…
Using polarimetry to retrieve the cloud coverage of Earth-like exoplanets
Loïc Rossi, Daphne Stam
Context. Clouds have already been detected in exoplanetary atmospheres. They play crucial roles in a planet's atmosphere and climate and can also create ambiguities in the determin…
The O2 A-band in fluxes and polarization of starlight reflected by Earth-like exoplanets
Thomas Fauchez, Loic Rossi, Daphne M. Stam
Earth-like, potentially habitable exoplanets are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life. Information about their atmosphere and surface can be derived by analyzing l…
