Evolutionary models for cool brown dwarfs and extrasolar giant planets. The case of HD 20945
read the original abstract
We present evolutionary models for cool brown dwarfs and extra-solar giant planets. The models reproduce the main trends of observed methane dwarfs in near-IR color-magnitude diagrams. We also present evolutionary models for irradiated planets, coupling for the first time irradiated atmosphere profiles and inner structures. We focus on HD 209458-like systems and show that irradiation effects can substantially affect the radius of sub-jovian mass giant planets. Irradiation effects, however, cannot alone explain the large observed radius of HD 209458b. Adopting assumptions which optimise irradiation effects and taking into account the extension of the outer atmospheric layers, we still find $\sim$ 20% discrepancy between observed and theoretical radii. An extra source of energy seems to be required to explain the observed value of the first transit planet.

Horizontal transport as a source of disequilibrium chemistry on the nightside of a hot exoplanet
JWST data on NGTS-10A b shows nightside CH4 depletion caused by day-to-night horizontal transport rather than vertical mixing or non-solar abundances.

Exploration of the inner region of the system HD 142527
High-contrast imaging with PACO and REXPACO reveals a new candidate companion at ~14 au and a tightly wound H-alpha spiral in the inner disk of HD 142527, suggesting ongoing companion-disk interactions.

Discovery of a Low-Mass Companion to the Accelerating Star HIP 53005 with Strongly Conflicting Mass Estimates
New companion HIP 53005 C shows strongly conflicting mass estimates of ~80 M_Jup from photometry versus ~185 M_Jup from dynamics, possibly indicating binarity or an unseen closer companion.
