(author), Snik, Frans (author), Stam, D.M. (author)Context. Homochirality is a generic and unique property of life on Earth and is considered a universal and agnostic biosignature. Homochirality induces fractional circular polarization in the incident light that it reflects. Because this circularly polarized light can be sensed remotely, it can be one of the most compelling candidate...journal article 2021

De Boer, J. (author), Langlois, M. (author), Van Holstein, R. G. (author), Girard, J. H. (author), Mouillet, D. (author), Vigan, A. (author), Dohlen, K. (author), Snik, F. (author), Stam, D.M. (author)Context. Polarimetric imaging is one of the most effective techniques for high-contrast imaging and for the characterization of protoplanetary disks, and it has the potential of becoming instrumental in the characterization of exoplanets. The Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch (SPHERE) instrument installed on the Very Large...journal article 2020

Groot, A. (author), Rossi, L.C.G. (author), Trees, V.J.H. (author), Cheung, J. C.Y. (author), Stam, D.M. (author)Context. Understanding the total flux and polarization signals of Earth-like planets and their spectral and temporal variability is essential for the future characterization of such exoplanets. Aims. We provide computed total (F) and linearly (Q and U) and circularly (V) polarized fluxes, and the degree of polarization P of sunlight that is...journal article 2020
