Circular polarization as a probe of cloud properties and asymmetries in giant exoplanet atmospheres
M. B. Michaelis, S. Wolf
For planets in the Solar System, circular polarization measurements complement linear polarimetry by providing additional information on cloud particle properties. As the disk-inte…

Spatial distribution of water ice in the protoplanetary silhouette disk d216-0939
J. S. Martin, S. Wolf, A. Potapov +4
The composition of rocky planets depends on the dust in their natal protoplanetary disk (PPD), potentially containing water ice. Crystalline water ice was detected in the PPD d216-…

Polarimetry of exoplanet-exomoon systems
M. B. Michaelis, M. Lietzow-Sinjen, S. Wolf
We investigated the potential of polarimetric observations in the optical wavelength range for the detection of exomoons and the characterization of exoplanet-exomoon systems. Usin…
