Design of the Life Signature Detection Polarimeter LSDpol

Christoph U. Keller, Frans Snik, C. H. Lucas Patty +11

Many biologically produced chiral molecules such as amino acids and sugars show a preference for left or right handedness (homochirality). Light reflected by biological materials s…

High contrast imaging for the enhanced resolution imager and spectrometer (ERIS)

Matthew A. Kenworthy, Frans Snik, Christoph U. Keller +9

ERIS is a diffraction limited thermal infrared imager and spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope UT4. One of the science cases for ERIS is the detection and characterization of…

Detection of polarization neutral points in observations of the combined corona and sky during the 21 August 2017 total solar eclipse

Frans Snik, Steven P. Bos, Stefanie A. Brackenhoff +7

We report the results of polarimetric observations of the total solar eclipse of 21 August 2017 from Rexburg, Idaho (USA). We use three synchronized DSLR cameras with polarization…

Minimizing the polarization leakage of geometric-phase coronagraphs with multiple grating pattern combinations

David S. Doelman, Emiel H. Por, Garreth Ruane +2

The design of liquid-crystal diffractive phase plate coronagraphs for ground-based and space-based high-contrast imaging systems is limited by the trade-off between spectral bandwi…
