I am a rising Senior at Vassar College pursuing a double major in Astronomy and Physics and a minor in Mathematics. This summer I was a part of the Solar Physics REU program at Montana State University. I have enjoyed working in an optics lab doing astrophysics related research!
Polarization is the tendency of electric field lines to oscillate due to factors such as reflections, polarizing matericals, etc. I am working to determine the relationship between lunar phase angle and DoLP as a function of wavelength.
My goal was to take polarized photos of the Moon and see how filters in the visible and near-IR change the degree of polarization and how they vary with phase angle.
