Direct imaging has paved the way for atmospheric characterization of young and self-luminous gas giants. Scattering in a horizontally-inhomogeneous atmosphere causes the disk-integrated polarization of the thermal radiation to be linearly…
The discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) is a powerful method for calculating absorption and scattering by targets that have sizes smaller than or comparable to the wavelength of the incident radiation. We present a new prescription -- the…
Highly precise numerical solutions to the radiative transfer equation with polarization present a special challenge. Here, we establish a precise numerical solution to the radiative transfer equation with combined Rayleigh and isotropic…

A new set of discrete ordinates is proposed for one-dimensional radiative transfer in spheres with central symmetry. The set is structured with un-normalized circular functions. This resulted in a conservative and closed set of discrete…
Solving the radiative transfer equation with the discrete ordinates (S$_N$) method leads to a non-physical imprint of the chosen quadrature set on the solution. To mitigate these so-called ray effects, we propose a modification of the S$_N$…

Spectropolarimetry from the near IR to the far UV of light scattered by dust provides a valuable diagnostic of the dust composition, grain size distribution and spatial distribution. To facilitate the use of this diagnostic, we present…
Light transfer in gradient-index media generally follows curved ray trajectories, which will cause light beam to converge or diverge during transfer and induce the rotation of polarization ellipse even when the medium is transparent.…
