CHAPTER

Optical Properties for Exoplanet Atmospheres

The goal here is to build a whole database of different optical properties for different types of hazes. And crucially, they want to be able to say if there's this kind of haze, then what will it look like? Really interesting. Are scientists already able to access it and get help figuring out what's going on in the exoplanet atmospheres? Probably from the 12 or so conditions that Sarah Horsch and her team were able to produce in their chamber. They have measured the optical properties from two of them, and they are about to release those optical property data as a preprint.
