Beginning of ReadMe : J/A+A/482/989 Spectropolarimetric model for Earth-like planets (Stam, 2008) ================================================================================ Spectropolarimetric signatures of Earth--like extrasolar planets. Stam D.M. <Astron. Astrophys. 482, 989 (2008)> =2008A&A...482..989S ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Planets ; Models ; Polarization Keywords: polarization - techniques: polarimetric - stars: planetary systems - radiative transfer - Earth Abstract: We present results of numerical simulations of flux F and degree of polarization P of light that is reflected by Earth-like extrasolar planets orbiting solar type stars. Our results are presented as functions of the wavelength (from 0.3 to 1.0mum, with 0.001mum spectral resolution) and as functions of the planetary phase angle. We use different surface coverages for our model planets, including vegetation and a Fresnel reflecting ocean, and clear and cloudy atmospheres. Description: Numerically calculated scattering matrix elements a1 and b1 of 11 different types of Earth-like extrasolar planets are presented. Matrix element a1 is proportional to the total flux that is reflected by the exoplanet, matrix element b1 is proportional to the linearly polarized flux. Also given is the ratio -b1/a1, which is the degree of linear polarization of the light that is reflected by the exoplanet. Each directory contains 91 ASCII files: one file for each planetary phase angle. The phase angles range from 0 degrees ("a full planet") to 180 degrees ("a new planet"), in steps of 2 degrees. Files are labelled DDD_AA_N.txt, where DDD is the phase angle and AA_N the model code (000_fo_0.txt for 0 degrees in forest_0 model, 000_oc_0.txt for 0 degrees in ocean_0 model, 000_00_0.txt for 0 degrees in lambert_00_0 model).
