Planet Earth in reflected and polarized light -- III. Modeling and analysis of a decade-long catalog of Earthshine observations
Giulia Roccetti, Michael F. Sterzik, Claudia Emde +3
Earthshine observations offer a unique opportunity to study Earth as an exoplanet seen from the Moon. As the Sun-Earth-Moon geometry changes, Earth can be observed as a spatially u…

Planet Earth in reflected and polarized light I. 3D radiative transfer simulations of realistic surface-atmosphere systems
Giulia Roccetti, Claudia Emde, Michael F. Sterzik +3
Future telescopes will characterize rocky exoplanets in reflected light, revealing their albedo, which depends on surface, cloud, and atmospheric properties. Identifying these feat…
