Research field: Characterization of exoplanet atmospheres
Description of the research project:
I'm using the newly build polarimeter for the Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic (POMM) to observe hot Jupiters. We will use these observations to constrain how reflective the planets' atmospheres are, and therefore get an idea of how cloudy the planets are.
