Light Scattering Measurements of KCl Particles as an Exoplanet Cloud Analog
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 measure the scattering intensity and degree of linear polarization for an ensemble of particles, is introduced here and u...
