Total planetary flux F_p (in W m⁻³) and the star-planet contrast C, the degree of polarization P_p of the spatially resolved planet, and P_u, the degree of polarization of the star and the spatially unresolved planet, all for a Current Venus model planet (Phase 4) as functions of the planet’s orbital phase for four mutual inclination angles i_m and four wavelengths λ: 0.5 µm (row 1); 1.0 µm (row 2); 1.5 µm (row 3); and 2.0 µm (row 4). The longitude of the ascending node of the planetary orbit, Ω, is 205°.
