Clouds Can Enhance Direct-imaging Detection of O2 and O3 on Terrestrial Exoplanets
Clouds are often considered a highly uncertain barrier for detecting biosignatures on exoplanets, especially given intuition gained from transit surveys. However, for direct-imaging reflected light observations, clouds could increase the observational signal by increasing reflected light. Here we co...
