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…
VIS spectroscopy of NaCl-water ice mixtures irradiated with 1 and 5 keV electrons under Europa_s conditions: Formation of colour centres and Na colloids
Romain Cerubini, Antoine Pommerol, André Galli +3
Recent laboratory efforts and telescopic observations of Europa have shown the relevance of a yellow colouration of sodium chloride (NaCl) caused by crystal defects generated by ir…
Reflectance study of ice and Mars soil simulant associations -- I. HO ice
Zuriñe Yoldi, Antoine Pommerol, Olivier Poch +1
The reflectance of water ice and dust mixtures depends, amongst other parameters, on how the components are mixed (e.g. intimate mixture, areal mixture or coating) (Clark et al. 19…
Reflectance study of ice and Mars soil simulant associations -- II. CO and HO ice
Zuriñe Yoldi, Antoine Pommerol, Olivier Poch +1
We measure the visible and near-infrared reflectance of icy analogues of the Martian surface made of CO ice associated in different ways with HO ice and the regolith simula…
Negative polarization properties of regolith simulants -- Systematic experimental evaluation of composition effects
Stefano Spadaccia, C. H. Lucas Patty, Holly L. Capelo +2
Polarization phase curves of asteroids and other small airless bodies are influenced by the compositional and physical properties of their regolith. The mixing of minerals composin…
Directional aspects of vegetation linear and circular polarization biosignatures
C. H. Lucas Patty, Antoine Pommerol, Jonas G. Kühn +2
Homochirality is a generic and unique property of all biochemical life and is considered a universal and agnostic biosignature. Upon interaction with unpolarized light, homochirali…
