  We show that spin-polarized local density of states (LDOS) measurements can
uniquely determine the chiral nature of topologically protected edge states
surrounding a ferromagnetic island embedded in a conventional superconductor
with spin-orbit coupling. The spin-polarized LDOS show a strong
spin-polarization directly tied to the normal direction of the edge, with
opposite polarizations on opposite sides of the island, and with a distinct
oscillatory pattern in energy.
