Flux and Polarization Reflected from a Nonconservative Rayleigh-Scattering Planetary Atmosphere
Abstract
Assuming that the Rayleigh-scattering atmosphere of a planet is homogeneous and plane-parallel we estimate the influence of non-conservativeness of the atmosphere and the state of polarization of the incident radiation upon the phase curves both for flux and polarization.
