    • Circular polarization in scattered light as a possible biomarker 

      Sparks, W.; Hough, J.; Kolokolova, L.; Germer, T.A.; Chen, F.; DasSarma, S.; DasSarma, P.; Robb, F.T.; Manset, N.; Reid, I.; Macchetto, F.D.; Martin, W. (2009)
      Biological molecules exhibit homochirality and are optically active. Therefore, it is possible that the scattering of light by biological molecules might result in a macroscopic signature in the form of circular polarization. ...

    • Correction for Sparks et al., Detection of circular polarization in light scattered from photosynthetic microbes [fig 1] 

      Sparks, W.B.; Hough, J.; Germer, T.A.; Chen, F.; DasSarma, S.; DasSarma, P.; Robb, F.T.; Manset, N.; Kolokolova, L.; Reid, N.; Macchetto, F.D.; Martin, William Eugene (2009-06-30)

    • Detection of circular polarization in light scattered from photosynthetic microbes 

      Sparks, W.; Hough, J.; Germer, T.A.; Chen, F.; DasSarma, S.; DasSarma, P.; Robb, F.T.; Manset, N.; Kolokolova, L.; Reid, N.; Macchetto, F.D.; Martin, William Eugene (2009-05)
      The identification of a universal biosignature that could be sensed remotely is critical to the prospects for success in the search for life elsewhere in the universe. A candidate universal biosignature is homochirality, ...

    • Hundred thousand degree gas in the virgo cluster of galaxies. 

      Sparks, W.B.; Pringle, J. E.; Carswell, R. F.; Donahue, M.; Martin, R.; Voit, M.; Cracraft, M.; Manset, N.; Hough, J. H. (2012-05-01)
      The physical relationship between low-excitation gas filaments at similar to 10(4) K, seen in optical line emission, and diffuse X-ray emitting coronal gas at similar to 10(7) K in the centers of many galaxy clusters is ...

    • Polarization Diagnostics for Cool Core Cluster Emission Lines 

      Sparks, W.B.; Pringle, J. E.; Carswell, R. F.; Voit, G.M.; Donahue, M.; Cracraft, M.; Meyer, E.T.; Hough, J.H.; Manset, N. (2014-01-01)
      The nature of the interaction between low-excitation gas filaments at ~104 K, seen in optical line emission, and diffuse X-ray emitting coronal gas at ~107 K in the centers of galaxy clusters remains a puzzle. The presence ...

    • The surprising magnetic topology of t Sco: fossil remnant or dynamo output 

      Donati, J-F.; Howarth, I.D.; Jardine, M.; Petit, P.; Catala, C.; Landstreet, J.D.; Bouret, J-C.; Alecian, E.; Barnes, J.R.; Forveille, T.; Paletou, F.; Manset, N. (2006)
