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…

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…

Feasibility study on retrieving exoplanetary cloud cover distributions using polarimetry
S. Winning, M. Lietzow-Sinjen, S. Wolf
Context. As a new growing field, exocartography aims to map the surface features of exoplanets that are beyond the resolution of traditional observing techniques. While photometric…
