HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Mahapatra G. and collaborators from the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands have published the article: From exo-Earths to exo-Venuses: Flux and polarization signatures of reflected light, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors aim to investigate the potential of spectropolarimetry for distinguishing exoEarths from exo-Venuses. The main reason to include (spectro)polarimetry (see e_g Rossi et_al 2023, and references therein) is that it increases the contrast between star and planet; this is because the stellar flux will be mostly unpolarized when integrated over the disk . . .
