Polarimetry in Planetary Sciences and Astronomy

C. H. Lucas Patty, Jonathan Grone, Brice-Olivier Demory +7

In recent decades, the relevance of polarimetry in planetary sciences and astronomy has increased rapidly. Polarization is a fundamental property of light and can be modified by an…

Polarized Signatures of a Habitable World: Comparing Models of an Exoplanet Earth with Visible and Near-infrared Earthshine Spectra

Kenneth E. Gordon, Theodora Karalidi, Kimberly M. Bott +3

In the JWST, Extremely Large Telescopes, and LUVOIR era, we expect to characterize a number of potentially habitable Earth-like exoplanets. However, the characterization of these w…

Spectropolarimetry of life: airborne measurements from a hot air balloon

Willeke Mulder, C. H. Lucas Patty, Stefano Spadaccia +6

Does life exist outside our Solar System? A first step towards searching for life outside our Solar System is detecting life on Earth by using remote sensing applications. One powe…

Spatial polarization modulators: distinguishing diffraction effects from spatial polarization modulation

Willeke Mulder, David S. Doelman, Christoph U. Keller +2

Are we alone? In our quest to find life beyond Earth, we use our own planet to develop and verify new methods and techniques to remotely detect life. Our Life Signature Detection p…

Biosignatures of the Earth I. Airborne spectropolarimetric detection of photosynthetic life

C. H. Lucas Patty, Jonas G. Kühn, Petar H. Lambrev +10

Context. Homochirality is a generic and unique property of life on Earth and is considered a universal and agnostic biosignature. Homochirality induces fractional circular polariza…
