We report a search, at wavelengths between 402 and \(850 \mathrm{~nm}\), for anomalies in the Venus polarization curve near the \(22^{\circ}\) halo scattering angle for ice crystals (phase angle \(158^{\circ}\) ). Such anomalies, if present, can be interpreted as due to halo birefringence peaks. Ano
Nightside infrared limb spectra of the Venus upper atmosphere, obtained by Venus Express VIRTIS, show strong scattering of thermal radiation. This scattering of upward-going radiation into the line-of-sight is dominant below 82.5 km even at a wavelength of 5 lm, which is indicative of relatively lar
