Spectropolarimetry as a Means to Address Cloud Composition and Habitability for a Cloudy Exoplanetary Atmosphere in the Habitable Zone
Robert A. West, Philip Dumont, Renyu Hu +3
In our solar system, the densely cloud-covered atmosphere of Venus stands out as an example of how polarimetry can be used to gain information on cloud composition and particle mea…
Assessing Planetary Complexity and Potential Agnostic Biosignatures using Epsilon Machines
Stuart Bartlett, Jiazheng Li, Lixiang Gu +6
We present a new approach to exoplanet characterisation using techniques from complexity science, with potential applications to biosignature detection. This agnostic method makes…
Earth as a Proxy Exoplanet: Deconstructing and Reconstructing Spectrophotometric Light Curves
Lixiang Gu, Siteng Fan, Jiazheng Li +7
Point source spectrophotometric ("single-point") light curves of Earth-like planets contain a surprising amount of information about the spatial features of those worlds. Spatially…
Earth as an Exoplanet: A Two-dimensional Alien Map
Siteng Fan, Cheng Li, Jia-Zheng Li +5
Resolving spatially-varying exoplanet features from single-point light curves is essential for determining whether Earth-like worlds harbor geological features and/or climate syste…
Using Deep Space Climate Observatory Measurements to Study the Earth as An Exoplanet
Jonathan H. Jiang, Albert J. Zhai, Jay Herman +7
Even though it was not designed as an exoplanetary research mission, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) has been opportunistically used for a novel experiment, in which Ea…
A Multiple Scattering Polarized Radiative Transfer Model: Application to HD 189733b
Pushkar Kopparla, Vijay Natraj, Xi Zhang +3
We present a multiple scattering vector radiative transfer model which produces disk integrated, full phase polarized light curves for reflected light from an exoplanetary atmosphe…
Information Content of Exoplanetary Transit Spectra: An Initial Look
M. R. Line, X. Zhang, G. Vaisht +3
It has been shown that spectroscopy of transiting extrasolar planets can potentially provide a wealth of information about their atmospheres. Herein, we set up the inverse problem…
