Planet Earth in reflected and polarized light -- III. Modeling and analysis of a decade-long catalog of Earthshine observations

Giulia Roccetti, Michael F. Sterzik, Claudia Emde +3

Earthshine observations offer a unique opportunity to study Earth as an exoplanet seen from the Moon. As the Sun-Earth-Moon geometry changes, Earth can be observed as a spatially u…

Planet Earth in reflected and polarized light: II. Refining contrast estimates for rocky exoplanets with ELT and HWO

Giulia Roccetti, Michael F. Sterzik, Julia V. Seidel +3

The characterization of nearby rocky exoplanets will become feasible with the next generation of telescopes, such as the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and the mission concept Hab…

Planet Earth in reflected and polarized light I. 3D radiative transfer simulations of realistic surface-atmosphere systems

Giulia Roccetti, Claudia Emde, Michael F. Sterzik +3

Future telescopes will characterize rocky exoplanets in reflected light, revealing their albedo, which depends on surface, cloud, and atmospheric properties. Identifying these feat…

HAMSTER: Hyperspectral Albedo Maps dataset with high Spatial and TEmporal Resolution

Giulia Roccetti, Luca Bugliaro, Felix Gödde +5

Surface albedo is an important parameter in radiative-transfer simulations of the Earth's system as it is fundamental for correctly calculating the energy budget of the planet. The…

The cloudbow of planet Earth observed in polarisation

Michael F. Sterzik, Stefano Bagnulo, Claudia Emde +1

Scattering processes in the atmospheres of planets cause characteristic features that can be particularly well observed in polarisation. For planet Earth, both molecular and scatte…

Spectral and Temporal Variability of Earth Observed in Polarization

Michael F. Sterzik, Stefano Bagnulo, Daphne M. Stam +2

We present a comprehensive set of spectropolarimetric observations of Earthshine as obtained by FORS2 at the VLT for phase angles from 50degree to 135degree (Sun-Earth-Moon angle),…
