Multi-wavelength observations provide a complementary view of the formation of young, directly imaged planetmass companions. We report the ALMA 1.3 mm and Magellan adaptive optics H alpha, i', z', and YS observations of the GQ Lup system, a classical T Tauri star with a 10-40 M-Jup substellar companion at similar to 110 au projected separation. We estimate the accretion rates for both components from the observed Ha fluxes. In our similar to 0.'' 05 resolution ALMA map, we resolve GQ Lup A's disk in the. dust continuum, but no signal is found from the companion. The disk is compact, with a radius of similar to 22 au, a dust mass of similar to 6M(circle plus), an inclination angle of similar to 56 degrees, and a very flat surface density profile indicative of a radial variation in dust grain sizes. No gaps or inner cavity are found in the disk, so there is unlikely a massive inner companion to scatter GQ Lup B outward. Thus, GQ Lup B might have formed in situ via disk fragmentation or prestellar core collapse. We also show that GQ Lup A's disk is misaligned with its spin axis, and possibly with GQ Lup B's orbit. Our analysis on the tidal truncation radius of GQ Lup A's disk suggests that GQ Lup B's orbit might have a low eccentricity.

We analyze archival data from Bailey and co-workers from the Magellan adaptive optics system and present the first 0.9 mu m detection (z' = 20.3 +/- 0.4 mag; Delta z' = 13.0 +/- 0.4 mag) of the 11 M-Jup circumbinary planet HD 106906AB b, as well as 1 and 3.8 mu m detections of the debris disk around the binary. The disk has an east-west asymmetry in length and surface brightness, especially at 3.8 mu m where the disk appears to be one-sided. The spectral energy distribution of b, when scaled to the K-S-band photometry, is consistent with 1800 K atmospheric models without significant dust reddening, unlike some young, very red, low-mass companions such as CT Cha B and 1RXS 1609 B. Therefore, the suggested circumplanetary disk of Kalas and co-workers might not contain much material, or might be closer to face-on. Finally, we suggest that the widest (a greater than or similar to 100 AU) low mass ratio (M-p/M-star = q less than or similar to 0.01) companions may have formed inside protoplanetary disks but were later scattered by binary/planet interactions. Such a scattering event may have occurred for HD 106906AB b with its central binary star, but definitive proof at this time is elusive.

Stellar companions can influence the formation and evolution of planetary systems, but there are currently few observational constraints on the properties of planet-hosting binary star systems. We search for stellar companions around 77 transiting hot Jupiter systems to explore the statistical properties of this population of companions as compared to field stars of similar spectral type. After correcting for survey incompleteness, we find that 47% +/- 7% of hot Jupiter systems have stellar companions with semimajor axes between 50 and 2000 au. This is 2.9 times larger than the field star companion fraction in this separation range, with a significance of 4.4 sigma. In the 1-50 au range, only 3.9(-2.0)(+4.5)% of hot Jupiters host stellar companions, compared to the field star value of 16.4% +/- 0.7%, which is a 2.7 sigma difference. We find that the distribution of mass ratios for stellar companions to hot Jupiter systems peaks at small values and therefore differs from that of field star binaries which tend to be uniformly distributed across all mass ratios. We conclude that either wide separation stellar binaries are more favorable sites for gas giant planet formation at all separations, or that the presence of stellar companions preferentially causes the inward migration of gas giant planets that formed farther out in the disk via dynamical processes such as Kozai-Lidov oscillations. We determine that less than 20% of hot Jupiters have stellar companions capable of inducing Kozai-Lidov oscillations assuming initial semimajor axes between 1 and 5 au, implying that the enhanced companion occurrence is likely correlated with environments where gas giants can form efficiently.

LkCa 15 hosts a pre-transitional disk as well as at least one accreting protoplanet orbiting in its gap. Previous disk observations have focused mainly on the outer disk, which is cleared inward of similar to 50 au. The planet candidates, on the other hand, reside at orbital radii around 15 au, where disk observations have been unreliable until recently. Here, we present new J-band imaging polarimetry of LkCa 15 with SPHERE IRDIS, yielding the most accurate and detailed scattered-light images of the disk to date down to the planet-hosting inner regions. We find what appear to be persistent asymmetric structures in the scattering material at the location of the planet candidates, which could be responsible at least for parts of the signals measured with sparse-aperture masking. These images further allow us to trace the gap edge in scattered light at all position angles and search the inner and outer disks for morphological substructure. The outer disk appears smooth with slight azimuthal variations in polarized surface brightness, which may be due to shadowing from the inner disk or a two-peaked polarized phase function. We find that the near-side gap edge revealed by polarimetry matches the sharp crescent seen in previous ADI imaging very well. Finally, the ratio of polarized disk to stellar flux is more than six times larger in the J-band than in the RI bands.

Le signal thermique d'une exoplanète tellurique est une clé pour caractériser les propriétés physiques et chimiques de son atmosphère. La résolution spectrale, et donc la caractérisation spectrale que nous pouvons réaliser des planètes extrasolaires, est malheureusement très limité, en particulier pour les planètes similaires à la Terre. Dans cette thèse, j'ai étudié la possibilité de caractériser des exoplanètes telluriques par l'analyse de la variabilité de son émission infrarouge. L'émission thermique apparente est en effet modulée par les saisons, la rotation de la planète, le mouvement et la variabilité des nuages, la phase orbitale, et aussi par la présence des satellites naturels.Premièrement, nous avons étudié l' émission thermique de la Terre vue en tant que point-source distante, ainsi que la variabilité et la dépendance du signal de la géométrie d'observation. J'ai modélisé l'émission de la Terre à l'aide des données satellitaires et des données produites par des modèles de circulation général (GCMs) du Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique de Paris (LMD), en comparant les deux types de données afin de valider les simulations.Pendant la deuxième partie de mon travail, j'ai utilisé des donnés du GCM pour modéliser des planètes telluriques qui diffèrent de la Terre par seulement un ou deux paramètres tels que: la vitesse de rotation (y compris des planètes synchrones), une surface planétaire entièrement recouverte par la glace ou de l'eau, l'obliquité de l'axe de rotation ou l'excentricité de l'orbite. Pour toutes ces planètes virtuelles, j'ai étudié le climat, déduit les propriétés physiques de la planète, et produit et analysé les signaux intégrés associés à différentes géométries d'observation.La dernière partie de la thèse est un travail préliminaire qui consiste en ne plus considérer l'émission bolométrique mais le signal de bandes spectrales étroites, grâce à une nouvelle génération de GCM. Parce que chaque bande explore un niveau spécifique dans l'atmosphère, l'étude de la variation du spectre en comparant les variabilités photométriques entre les bandes, permet d'étudier la dynamique, la composition, la distribution et l'évolution de l'atmosphère de la planète, ce qui ouvre un champ encore inexploré pour la caractérisation des exoplanètes. / The thermal emission received from a planet is a key to characterize the physical and chemical properties of its atmosphere. The spectral resolution, and therefore the spectral characterization that we can achieve for extrasolar planets is unfortunately very limited in particular for terrestrial planets. In this thesis, we study the possibility to characterize an Earth-like exoplanet by the analysis of the broadband infrared emission variability. The apparent thermal emission is indeed modulated by the seasons, the rotation of the planet, the motion and variability of atmospheric patterns and clouds, the orbital phase, and even the presence of a moon. As a reference case, we have studied the thermal emission of the Earth seen as a distant point-source, as well as the variability and the dependency of the signal on the observation geometry. We have modeled the emission of the Earth using data derived from observations and data produced by a General Circulation Models (GCMs), comparing both types of data in order to validate our simulations.As a second part of our work, we have used the GCM to model Earth-like planets that differ from the Earth by a few parameters such as different rotation rates (including tidally-locked planets), a planetary surface completely covered by ice or water, different obliquities and eccentricities. For all these virtual planets, we have studied the climate derived from the physical properties and the photometric infrared signal associated with them.The last part of the thesis is a preliminary work that no longer consider the bolometric emission but the signal from narrow spectral bands, thanks to a new generation of GCMs. Because each band probes a specific level in the atmosphere, studying how the low resolution spectrum of the planets varies by comparing the photometric variabilities between bands, we can study the dynamics, composition, distribution and evolution of the atmosphere of the planet, which it opens a yet unexplored field for the characterization of exoplanets.

Les travaux réalisés au cours de cette thèse s'intéressent à l'origine et à la formation des satellites naturels réguliers de Mars et Jupiter qui sont les cibles de futures missions d'exploration spatiale dédiées à leur caractérisation. Le cas controversé de l'origine de Phobos et Deimos, les lunes de Mars, est adressé et il est montré que leur formation à la suite d'un impact géant permettrait de réconcilier leurs propriétés orbitales et physiques. Concernant les satellites galiléens orbitant Jupiter, il est montré que dans le contexte classiquement utilisé de leur formation, la croissance des lunes a certainement procédé par l'accrétion de grains de poussières, un processus appelé "pebble accretion", plutôt que par celle de corps plus grands comme il est typiquement considéré. Des propriétés intéressantes, ainsi que d'autres plus problématiques, de la croissance des lunes galiléennes par "pebble accretion" sont dérivées. Dans un second temps, le transport de solides nécessaires à l'assemblage des lunes galiléennes dans le disque circum-jovien est étudié dans le contexte des récentes théories de formation des planètes géantes. Nous montrons que la vision classique selon laquelle le gaz accrété par Jupiter transporte assez de solides pour former ses lunes est probablement erronée. Il est proposé que, aidée par la formation de Saturne, Jupiter a pu capturer dans son disque assez de planétésimaux pour assembler les satellites galiléens. Contrairement aux précédents scénarios, le cadre proposé prédit que des analogues aux satellites galiléens ne se forment pas autour de toutes les planètes géantes / This thesis aims at better understanding the origin and formation of the martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, and the major jovian satellites known as the galilean moons, each of these systems being the target of future space exploration missions dedicated to their characterization. We address the puzzling origin of Phobos and Deimos and show that their formation following a giant impact could allow to account for both their orbital and physical properties. As regards the galilean moons, we argue that their growth would likely proceed through the accretion of small dust grains, a process known as pebble accretion, rather than through the accretion of larger satellitesimals within the typical framework assumed for their formation. We derive some interesting properties as well as some drawbacks of pebble accretion in the galilean system. Then, the delivery of solid material from the protoplanetary disk to the circum-jovian disk is investigated in light of recent developments of the theory of giant planets' formation. It is shown that the classic view that the gas accreted by Jupiter transports enough solids to build many galilean-like satellites is likely to be erroneous and some other mechanism must have taken place to account for the presence of the massive galilean moons. It is proposed that, with the help of Saturn's formation, Jupiter could have captured within its disk enough planetesimals on initially heliocentric orbits to build the galilean moons. Unlike previous scenarios, the proposed framework predicts that the presence of galilean analogues would not be ubiquitous around extrasolar giant planets

By using climate models based on the Earth’s climate, you can get information about how the climate on exoplanets can look like. ROCKE-3D is a general circulation model based on ModelE2, which is used for simulations of modern and prehistoric Earth’s climate. ROCKE-3D, on the other hand, is used to simulate terrestrial planets both in our solar system and around other stars. The orbital eccentricity affects a planet’s climate, if the eccentricity is high, the planet will be closer to its star certain parts of the year and further away from it for other parts. Because of this, it is interesting to study the eccentricity’s influence on the climate of exoplanets, especially since the boundaries of the habitable zone change. In this report, the climate of an Earth-like planet with varying orbital eccentricity has been investigated using ROCKE-3D. The results show that the annual average temperature increased if the eccentricity increased, even though it was expected to decrease because the planet was further away from its star for longer periods than it was closer. The reason for this was that the ocean dampened the surface temperature drop. The amount of snow and ice was also examined. As eccentricity increased, the ocean ice became thicker and snow accumulated in the northern hemisphere. This can be explained, even though the annual average temperature increased due to the warmer winters, by the fact that the temperature in the summer decreased so much that the snow and ocean ice did not melt away completely and started to accumulate for the years with higher eccentricities.

Lors de cette thèse, je me suis attaché à améliorer notre connaissance des planètes géantes, depuis notre voisine Jupiter jusqu’aux exoplanètes lointaines : les Jupiter chauds. Grâce aux nouvelles observations gravitationnelles extrêmement fines du satellite Juno, entré en orbite autour de Jupiter en juillet 2016, il est possible d’améliorer significativement les modèles de structure interne de la planète. Cependant, cela ne peut se faire qu’à condition d’avoir une méthode suffisamment précise pour exploiter au maximum les données. J’ai donc étudié la méthode des sphéroides de Maclaurin concentriques et ses limitations. A l’aide des connaissances contemporaines sur les équations d’état, les propriétés diffusives et les transition ou séparation de phase entre l’Hydrogène et l’Hélium, il m’a alors été possible de produire de nouveaux modèles de Jupiter. Arriver à combiner les observations gravitationnelles de Juno et les abondances d’éléments observées par Galiléo n’a pu se faire qu’en décomposant Jupiter en au moins 4 zones, de l’enveloppe externe jusqu’au coeur compact. J’ai montré que la taille de ce coeur compact était dégénérée avec la variation d’entropie à l’intérieur de la planète.La structure interne des Jupiter chauds quant à elle est très dépendante de leur dynamique atmosphérique, qui entraîne une inflation de leur rayon. J’ai étudié les atmosphères de ces planètes à l’aide du modèle de circulation globale de l’Université d’Exeter et d’un code linéaire que j’ai développé, appelé ECLIPS3D. La caractéristique la plus importante de la circulation atmosphérique est la présence d’un jet superrotatif, étendu en latitude.J’ai donc étudié la création de ce jet à l’aide d’arguments théoriques pour s’assurer de sa pertinence physique. L’étude de la solution linéaire dépendante du temps, associée à des arguments numériques sur la convergence de quantité de mouvement par les vents verticaux m’ont permis d’établir une compréhension globale, cohérente de l’accélération de la superrotation dans l’atmosphère de ces planètes.Avec ce travail, j’ai amélioré ma compréhension théorique des planètes géantes et développé des codes qui peuvent être utilisés pour améliorer nos connaissances sur la structure interne et la dynamique atmosphérique des planètes géantes, que ce soit Jupiter, Saturne ou les Jupiter chauds. / Through this thesis, I have been motivated by the will to improve our knowledge of giant planets, from our neigh- bouring Jupiter to the far away worlds across the galaxy: hot Jupiters.With the latest, extremely precise observations of the satellite Juno, new models of the interior of Jupiter can be derived. A precise enough method is required to take full advantage of these outstanding data, and I therefore studied the concentric Maclaurin spheroid method and its limitations.With contemporary understanding on the equations of state, diffusive properties and phase transition/separation of hydrogen and helium, I could then focus on producing new interior models of Jupiter. Combining the gravitational observations of Juno with the elemental observations of Galileo has proven to be a complicated task, which required to decompose the planet into at least four regions from the outer envelope to the inner, compact core. I have shown that the size of the compact core is degenerated with the entropy variation within the planet.Concerning hot Jupiters, I have reminded of the need to understand their atmospheric dynamics to constrain their interior structure, as the wind circulation can lead to an inflation of their radius. Studying numerically their at- mospheric dynamics was performed with the University of Exeter’s global circulation model as well as with the development of a linear solver that I called ECLIPS3D. An important, robust feature is the presence of a broad equatorial superrotation in the atmosphere of these planets.Finally, I have explored the spin up of this superrotation on theoretical grounds, to assess its physical relevance. I have calculated the linear time dependent solution to show the importance of differential drag and radiative damp- ing, and have used numerical simulations to highlight the importance of vertical momentum acceleration. Globally, a coherent picture of the initial spin up of superrotation was obtained.Through this work, I have improved my theoretical understanding of giant planets and developed various codes that can be used to study and improve our knowledge of the interior structure and atmospheric dynamics of giant planets, from Jupiter and Saturn to hot Jupiters.

Esta dissertação versa sobre a incomunicabilidade humana. A pergunta problematizadora que temos como objetivo aprofundar é: o ser humano é, ontologicamente, um ser capaz de se comunicar? ou de outra forma: é possível a existência da comunicação? A hermenêutica imanente dos textos de natureza filosófica, seguida da reflexão analítica, nos aproxima da problemática sobre a incomunicabilidade humana, iluminando os enfoques chave do estado instaurado de incomunicação radical e generalizada, por outro lado a possibilidade do ser de relacionar-se e abrir a comunicação para sua existência. A possibilidade do ser humano de relacionar-se é mínima no sistema planetário de comunicação, o que nos faz concluir que vivemos na era da incomunicabilidade humana, por primeiro da incomunicabilidade entre eu e o outro. / This dissertation deals with human incommunicability. We intend to further study the following problematizing issue: Ontologically speaking, is the human being capable of communicating? In other words: can communication exist? The immanent hermeneutics of philosophical texts, followed by analytical reflection, leads us to the problem of human incommunicability, throws light on key approaches to the state of radical and generalized incommunication, and, on the other hand, the possibility for human beings to establish relationships and open lines of communication for their survival. The planets communication system allows for minimal possibilities of human beings establishing relationships; we have, therefore, to conclude that we live in an era of human incommunicability, starting with the incommunicability between the self and others.
