The effects of disk and dust structure on observed polarimetric images of protoplanetary disks

Context. Imaging polarimetry is a powerful tool for imaging faint circumstellar material. It is a rapidly developing field with great promise for diagnostics of both the large-scale structures and the small-scale details of the scattering particles. …

Data-reduction techniques for high-contrast imaging polarimetry. Applications to ExPo

Context. Imaging polarimetry is a powerful tool for detecting and characterizing exoplanets and circumstellar environments. Polarimetry allows a separation of the light coming from an unpolarized source such as a star and the polarized source such as …
