Scattering and Polarization Properties of the Non-Spherical Particles

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The albedo and dichroic polarization of spheroidal particles are studied. For the description of the phase function two asymmetry parameters gg_{||} and gg_{\bot} characterizing the anisotropy in forward/backward and left/right directions are introduced and calculated. The consideration is based on the solution to the light scattering problem by the Separation of Variables Method (Voshchinnikov and Farafonov, 1993).
