Polarization Aberrations in Coronagraphs
, 2019 In the search for habitable extrasolar planets, the ability to separate and detect the dim planet's light from its much brighter host star is paramount. The inherent polarization properties of optical systems can lead to small but significant deviations ...

TRIShUL: Technique for Reconstructing magnetic Interstellar Structure Using starLight polarization
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe present a novel technique for the decomposition of line-of-sight (LOS) stellar polarization as a function of distance, aimed at reconstructing 3D plane-of-sky magnetic structures in the interstellar medium.

Polarization of Circumstellar Debris Disk Light Echoes
The Astronomical JournalLight echoes of debris disks around active stars can reveal disk structure and composition even when disks are not spatially resolved. Unfortunately, distinguishing reflected light from quiescent starlight and unexpected post-peak flare structure is ...

Polarization Spectra of Extrasolar Giant Planets
, 2004 We present simulated spectra of the flux and degree of polarization of starlight that is reflected by extrasolar giant planets (EGPs). In particular the polarization depends strongly on the structure of the planetary atmosphere, and appears to be a ...

Sensitivity of Polarization to Grain Shape. I. Convex Shapes
The Astrophysical JournalAligned interstellar grains produce polarized extinction (observed at wavelengths from the far-ultraviolet to the mid-infrared) and polarized thermal emission (observed at far-infrared and submm wavelengths).
