Light Scattering Measurements of KCl Particles as an Exoplanet Cloud Analog
Colin D. Hamill, Alexandria V. Johnson, Peter Gao
Salt clouds are predicted to be common on warm exoplanets, but their optical properties are uncertain. The Exoplanet Cloud Ensemble Scattering System (ExCESS), a new apparatus to m…
