Session PS03: Polarimetry of the Solar
System and Beyond
at AOGS
(Asia-Oceania Geoscience Society) General Assembly
Beijing
(China) on July 31 - August 5, 2016
See http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2016
Abstract submission deadline is March 4, 2016
Session
rationale
Polarimetry
is a currently enjoying a rejuvenation in various astronomical applications. As
a complementary technique to
imaging and spectroscopy, polarization allows the
investigation of scattering properties of variety of media ranging from
planetary atmospheres, comets, small bodies (planetary
satellites, asteroids, Kuiper Belt objects, etc.) to detection and
characterization of exoplanets, brown dwarfs, star and
planet forming regions; characterization of magnetic fields and search
for optically active molecules in a
search for habitability elsewhere than our earth. We invite contributions from
observers,
modelers, laboratory measurements,
instrument designers and missions.
