Statistical analysis of polarized images from 30 protoplanetary disks recovers two dust scattering categories consistent with fractal organic aggregates or compact grains, plus an average flaring index of 1.357, while noting strong degeneracies prevent unique per-disk inferences.
These results are listed in Table A.1

Probing dust properties through polarized scattered-light images of a sample of ring-shaped protoplanetary disks
Statistical analysis of polarized images from 30 protoplanetary disks recovers two dust scattering categories consistent with fractal organic aggregates or compact grains, plus an average flaring index of 1.357, while noting strong degeneracies prevent unique per-disk inferences.
