Detection of circular polarization in light scattered from photosynthetic microbes
William B. Sparks, James Hough, Thomas A. Germer +9
The identification of a universal biosignature that could be sensed remotely is critical to the prospects for success in the search for life elsewhere in the universe. A candidate…
Discovery of two distinct polarimetric behaviours of trans-Neptunian objects
S. Bagnulo, I. Belskaya, K. Muinonen +4
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) contain the most primitive and thermally least-processed materials from the early accretional phase of the solar system. They allow us to study inter…
Photometry and polarimetry of the nucleus of comet 2P/Encke
H. Boehnhardt, G. P. Tozzi, S. Bagnulo +3
Broadband imaging photometry, and broadband and narrowband linear polarimetry was measured for the nucleus of 2P/Encke over the phase-angle range 4 - 28 deg. An analysis of the poi…
Evidence of Fragmenting Dust Particles from Near-Simultaneous Optical and Near-IR Photometry and Polarimetry of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3
Terry Jay Jones, David Stark, Charles E. Woodward +4
We report imaging polarimetry of segments B and C of the Jupiter-family Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 in the I and H bandpasses at solar phase angles of approximately 35 and 85d…
Polarimetry of the dwarf planet (136199) Eris
I. Belskaya, S. Bagnulo, K. Muinonen +4
We investigate the surface characteristics of the large dwarf planet (136199) Eris. With the FORS1 instrument of the ESO VLT, we have obtained Bessell broadband R linear polarimetr…
Dust observations of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 at the time of the Deep Impact
G. P. Tozzi, H. Boehnhardt, L. Kolokolova +15
On 4 July 2005 at 05:52 UT, the impactor of NASA's Deep Impact (DI) mission crashed into comet 9P/Tempel 1 with a velocity of about 10 km/s. The material ejected by the impact expa…
