Polarization of Circumstellar Debris Disk Light Echoes

Polarization of Circumstellar Debris Disk Light Echoes

Light echoes of debris disks around active stars can reveal disk structure and composition even when disks are not spatially resolved. Unfortunately, distinguishing reflected light from quiescent starlight and unexpected post-peak flare structure is challenging, especially for edge-on geometries whe...
