Unambiguous Black Hole Mass from Polarimetry and Application to Hot Jupiters
<p>A novel technique for detecting light scattered by extrasolar planets is presented that has the potential to constrain orbital inclination and planet mass. To develop this technique, I have commissioned a high precision polarimeter on the Hale 5-m telescope at Palomar Observatory. The high...
