Resumo: O sistema Plutão-Caronte é um par quase binário em estado de duplo sincronismo. Hoje sabe-se que Plutão possui cinco satélites: Caronte, Styx, Nix, Kerberos e Hydra, onde os últimos quatro são muito menores que Caronte. A origem mais plausível para o sistema Plutão-Caronte é a de um impacto de grandes proporções entre corpos de tamanhos similares, onde o impactador (que viria a ser Caronte) permanece quase intacto após o evento. Caronte iniciaria o movimento orbital próximo de Plutão (ex: a≈4 Rp) com ambos rotacionando rapidamente, como consequência da colisão mútua. Devido a intensa maré, suas distâncias irão evoluir e seus equadores (provavelmente desalinhados devido ao choque) irão também evoluir em consonância com seus respectivos spins. Alguns autores, por meio de um modelo bidimensional, tomando a maré modelada por Mignard (1980) e Peale (2007), usando dois métodos distintos, evoluíram Plutão-Caronte à partir deste cenário, reproduzindo os parâmetros orbitais e rotacionais atuais do sistema. Neste trabalho fazemos um estudo tridimensional, usando na parte rotacional as variáveis canônicas de Andoyer. Nesta abordagem, integramos a atitude de Plutão e Caronte por meio das equações de Hamilton, enquanto que a dinâmica translacional é feita classicamente via equações cartesianas de Newton. As contribuições dos torques, devidas às interações por efeito de maré entre Plutão e Caronte são inseridas nas equações de Hamilton. Como resultado mostramos o alinhamento dos equadores ...

Abstract: The Pluto-Charon system is almost a binary system in dual synchronous state. It is well known that Pluto has five satellites: Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra, where the latter four are much smaller than Charon. The most plausible origin for the Pluto-Charon system is an oblique impact of great proportions between bodies with similar sizes. In this scenario, the impactor, which would later originate Charon, would remain almost intact after the collision. Initially the satellite would be revolving very close to Pluto (ex: a≈4Rp), with both bodies rotating very fast, as consequence of the mutual collision. The strong tidal effects, due to the initial approximation of both bodies combined with the fast rotation, expanded Charon's orbit, so as their equators aligned (probably misaligned due to the collision), in consonance with their respective spins. Some authors, using a two dimensional system and tidal forces modeled by Mignard (1980) and Peale (2007), with two distinct methods, evolved PlutoCharon from this scenario. They were able to reproduce the current orbital and rotational parameters of the system. In our work, a three-dimensional study was done, using the Andoyer's variable for the rotational problem. We integrated Pluto and Charon's atitude through Hamilton's equation, while the translational dynamics is calculated classically through Newton's cartesian equations. Torque's contributions due to tides raised on both Pluto and Charon are introduced in Hamilton's equ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

For ten years, planets around stars similar to the Sun have been discovered, confirmed, and their properties studied. Planets have been found in a variety of environments previously thought impossible. The results have revolutionized the way in which scientists understand planet and star formation and evolution, and provide context for the roles of the Earth and our own solar system. Over half of star systems contain more than one stellar component. Despite this, binary stars have often been avoided by programs searching for planets. Discovery of giant planets in compact binary systems would indirectly probe the timescales of planet formation, an important quantity in determining by which processes planets form. A new observing method has been developed to perform very high precision differntial astrometry on bright binary stars with separations in the range of 0.1 - 1.0 arcseconds. Typical measurement precisions over an hour of integration are on the order of 10 micro-arcseconds (as), enabling one to look for perturbations to the Keplerian orbit that would indicate the presence of additional components to the system. This method is used as the basis for a new program to find extrasolar planets. The Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems (PHASES) is a search for giant planets orbiting either star in 50 binary systems. The goal of this search is to detect or rule out planets in the systems observed and thus place limits on any enhancements of planet formation in binaries. It is also used to measure fundamental properties of the stars comprising the binary, such as masses and distances, useful for constraining stellar models at the 10-3 level.
(cont.) This method of differential astrometry is applied to three star systems. Equulei is among the most well-studied nearby binary star systems. Results of its observation have been applied to a wide range of fundamental studies of binary systems and stellar astrophysics. PHASES data are combined with previously published radial velocity data and other previously published differential astrometry measurements to produce a combined model for the system orbit. The distance to the system is determined to within a twentieth of a parsec and the component masses are determined at the level of a percent. n Pegasi is a well-known, nearby triple star system consisting of a "wide" pair with semi-major axis 235 milli-arcseconds, one component of which is a single-line spectroscopic binary (semi-major axis 2.5 milli-arcseconds). Using high-precision differential astrometry and radial velocity observations, the masses for all three components are determined and the relative inclination between the wide and narrow pairs' orbits is found to be 43.8 ± 3.0 degrees, just over the threshold for the three body Kozai resonance. The system distance is determined to a fifth of a parsec, and is consistent with trigonometric parallax measurements. V819 Herculis is a well-studied triple star system consisting of a "wide" pair with 5.5 year period, one component of which is a 2.2-day period eclipsing single-line spectroscopic binary. Differential astrometry measurements from PHASES determine the relative inclination of the short- and long-period orbits. Finally, the prospects for finding planets that simultaneously circle both stars in a binary system are evaluated. Planet searches of this type would represent a complementary investigation to PHASES and contribute similar scientific results.

We present a new method to retrieve molecular abundances and temperature profiles from exoplanet atmosphere photometry and spectroscopy. Our method allows us to run millions of 1-D atmosphere models in order to cover the large range of allowed parameter space. In order to run such a large number of models, we have developed a parametric pressure-temperature (P-T) profile coupled with line-by-line radiative transfer, hydrostatic equilibrium, and energy balance, along with prescriptions for non-equilibrium molecular composition and energy redistribution. The major difference from traditional 1-D radiative transfer models is the parametric P-T profile, which essentially means adopting energy balance only at the top of the atmosphere and not in each layer. We see the parametric P-T model as a parallel approach to the traditional exoplanet atmosphere models that rely on several free parameters to encompass unknown absorbers and energy redistribution. The parametric P-T profile captures the basic physical features of temperature structures in planetary atmospheres (including temperature inversions), and reproduces a wide range of published P-T profiles, including those of solar system planets. We apply our temperature and abundance retrieval method to two exoplanets which have the best data available, HD 189733b and HD 209458b. For each planet, we compute - 107 atmospheric spectra on a grid in the parameter space, and report contours of the error surface, given the data. For the day-side of HD 189733b, we place constraints on the atmospheric properties based on three different data sets available. Our best-fit models to one of the data sets allow for very efficient daynight energy redistribution in HD 189733b. The different constraints on molecular abundances confirm the presence of H20, CH4 , CO and CO 2 in HD 189733b. Our results also rule out the presence of a thermal inversion in this planet. The model constraints due to the different data sets indicate that the planetary atmosphere is variable, both, in its energy redistribution state and in the chemical abundances. The variability is evident in the data; some key observations with different instruments at the same wavelength differ at the - 2- level. If, on the other hand, the differences in data represent underestimated errors, and if all the data sets have to be reconciled simultaneously, then we are unable to make specific constraints on the molecular abundances or on the temperature profile, beyond identification of molecules and the presence or absence of a thermal inversion. For HD 209458b, we confirm and constrain a thermal inversion in the day-side atmosphere, and the data allows for very efficient day-night redistribution of energy. We report detection of CO, CH4 and CO 2 on the dayside of HD 209458b, along with placing an upper-limit on the amount of H2 0. We also report atmospheric models for three transiting exoplanets with limited data: TrES-2, HAT-P-7b, GJ 436b. For TrES-2 and HAT-P-7b, where only four observations each are available, we find that the data can be fit with models with and without thermal inversions, if we make no assumptions of chemical equilibrium. Finally, in this work, we report the first steps towards developing a parameter estimation procedure for exoplanetary atmospheres. We demonstrate with simulated data that our model can be used with a formal Bayesian parameter estimation algorithm, like MCMC, to place constraints on the atmospheric properties of hot Jupiters.

In thisThesisIpresent the observations and analysis of29 transits of4 exoplanets: OGLETR-111b, WASP-5b, WASP-4b and WASP-7b. Based on the analysis of the light curves of these exoplanets we refined the ephemeris and physical parameters of all these exoplanets. Based on the temporal analysis, we found no evidence of the presence of additional planets with masses larger than ∼10 Min those systems. We place strong limits in the mass of ~10 M⊕possible perturbers especially in the orbital resonances with the transiting planets. These results support the formation theories that predict a paucity of planetary companions to Jupiter-like planets.

Full textThis PhD has been carried out within a partnership between SAFRAN Transmission Systems and the LaMCoS laboratory of INSA Lyon in the framework of the INSA-SAFRAN Chair on Innovative Mechanical Transmissions for Aeronautics. The introduction of planetary gears in turbofans has recently emerged as a promising technological solution to reduce fan rotational speeds in the next generation of aircraft engines. In view of the rotational speeds and loads, journal bearings appear as interesting since, beyond their load carrying capacity at high speeds, they bring significant damping in mechanical systems. The present work aims at understanding the static and dynamic couplings between journal bearings and gear meshes in epicyclic gears. Lumped parameters models of the sun-gear, planets and ring-gear are coupled with a condensed finite elements model of the carrier using the planets bearings as interface elements. The journal bearings reactions are linearized around the quasi-static equilibrium of the system in order to use classical algorithms for the time-step integration. The gear teeth elasticity at the mesh interfaces are modelled using a thin-slices approach with an elemental stiffness attached to each discrete cell on the lines of contact. Sets of normal deviations are added to the discrete cells to account for the effect of manufacturing and assembly errors, as well as toot modifications. A number of comparisons with results from the literature validate the precision of the model, especially regarding the frequency contents of the output signals of the simulation. This work focuses on two main aspects: a) the effect of tooth lead modifications on the static and dynamics of a planetary gear set and, b) the influence of journal bearings as planet supports compared with rolling elements bearings. Particular emphasis is placed on the stiffness and damping properties brought by journal bearings

Full textLa ricerca e la caratterizzazione dei pianeti extrasolari è uno dei maggiori campi di ricerca dell’astronomia attuale, con lo scopo ultimo di capire i meccanismi di formazione e di evoluzione dei sistemi planetari, le condizioni che permettono la formazione di ambienti adatti alla vita, e di trovare le prove di vita extra-solare. Negli ultimi decenni, la ricerca dei pianeti extrasolari ha visto un rapido aumento di interesse, e sono state cosí sviluppate nuove metodologie di ricerca. Ognuna di esse ha aspetti positivi e negativi per lo studio dell’architettura dei sistemi extrasolari e la caratterizzazione dei pianeti. Le stelle e il loro entourage planetario si formano e crescono assieme, per lo meno nella maggioranza dei casi, legate dal disco circumstellare. Al momento manca una teoria universale che possa descrivere tutti i processi che accadono tra le fasi del collasso della nube protostellare e la stabilizzazione finale del sistema. I metodi indiretti sono molto utili per studiare le zone interne dei sistemi più evoluti, nei quali il contributo del disco protoplanetario è trascurabile. Dall’altro lato, la tecnica dell’imaging diretto con strumenti ad alto contrasto offre la possibilità di studiare le prime fasi della formazione planetaria, non accessibili con altri metodi indiretti, e gioca un ruolo fondamentale per le attuali teorie di formazione planetaria. Questa tesi si focalizza sulle capacità dell’imaging diretto ottenuto con SPHERE, il nuovo strumento ad alto contrasto del VLT, nel rivelare pianeti in diversi stadi della loro evoluzione, e presenta uno studio complementare di sistemi vecchi basato sulle osservazioni delle velocità radiali con SARG, il vecchio spettrografo echelle del TNG. Il Capitolo 1 introduce brevemente le teorie di formazione ed evoluzione dei pianeti con i più importanti metodi di ricerca. Il Capitolo \ref{sec:sphere} descrive SPHERE, lo strumento usato per la maggior parte dei risultati presentati in questa tesi. Nel Capitolo 3 presento il caso di quattro oggetti giovani. Ho sfruttato il canale visibile di SPHERE per studiare i jet di Z CMa, e il canale nel vicino infrarosso per HD 100546 e T Cha, cercando segnali della presenza di pianeti. Allo stesso tempo, ho potuto studiare in dettaglio il disco circumstellare di HD 100546 in un intervallo spettrale relativamente ampio: nella sezione ad esso dedicata mostra che le strutture più brillanti del sistema suggeriscono la presenza di almeno tre regioni vuote nelle zone interne del disco, assieme ad altre strutture, come ad esempio bracci a spirale. Ho anche rilevato la presenza di una sorgente diffusa nella posizione attesa per il potenziale pianeta b, ma la natura di questa emissione è, tuttavia, ancora sconosciuta. Infine, LkCa 15 è stato studiato sia nel canale visibile che in quello del vicino infrarosso di SPHERE. Nel Capitolo 4 presento lo studio dei segni distintivi di accrescimento in un gruppo di oggetti. L’accrescimento di GQ Lup b è stato osservato sia in H_alpha che il Paschen beta, sfruttando tutti e tre i sottosistemi di SPHERE. Due sistemi i cui dintorni sono già stati ripuliti dal gas e dalla polvere sono presentati nel Capitolo 5: HIP 80591 e HIP 65426. In quest’ultimo, ho scoperto che uno dei candidati compagni aveva un’alta probabilità di essere legato alla stella a causa della sua posizione e delle sue caratteristiche spettrali. Queste conclusioni sono state poi confermate da un’analisi approfondita e da ulteriori osservazioni che hanno dimostrato che quel compagno, HD 65426 b, è un pianeta gioviano caldo con massa compresa tra 6 e 12 M_J. Nel Capitolo 6, studio l’attività cromosferica in stelle binarie vecchie allo scopo di identificare un segnale nelle velocità radiali nascosto dallo spostamento Doppler indotto dall’attività. Ho scoperto che Ha-excess, un indice basato sulla riga \Ha, è un buon indicatore dell’attività stellare quando l’indice \RHK\ non è disponibile e può essere anche usato per derivare l’età delle stelle nel caso siano più giovani di 1.5 Gyr. Inoltre, HD 76037 B mostra una variazione elevata delle velocità radiali che puo’ essere spiegata con la presenza di un compagno di piccola massa (Sissa et al. 2017) Infine, nel Capitolo 7 fornisco le conclusioni del lavoro ed espongo sviluppi futuri. Le appendici sono dedicate agli aspetti più tecnici del mio lavoro, che sono stati necessari per migliorare le capacità dello strumento e la riduzione dei dati, e per definire al meglio i set-up necessari allo strumento per raggiungere i differenti scopi scientifici.

O estudo da formação de planetas terrestres no Sistema Solar, é crucial para compre- endermos como outros sistemas planetários formam e também inferir as condições que poderiam ter influenciado a origem e evolução de vida na Terra. Esta Tese de douto- rado apresenta um estudo numérico da formação de planetas terrestres. Nosso objetivo principal é analisar o último estágio da formação desses planetas no Sistema Solar, em particular, a formação de Marte e a origem da água da Terra. Esses dois pontos têm intrigado cientistas ao longo de muitos anos. Enquanto que o planeta produzido ao redor de 1.5 UA é, em geral, muito mais massivo do que Marte, na grande parte das simulações, a origem da água da Terra é outro tema de intenso debate. Em vista disso, nós desenvol- vemos um cenário considerando uma depleção local de massa, no disco protoplanetário, a fim de analisarmos a origem da baixa massa de Marte, e também usamos um modelo composto para estudarmos a origem da água da Terra. Este trabalho apresenta um grande número de simulações numéricas explorando uma diversidade de parâmetros do sistema. Entre os principais podemos citar as variadas configurações de planetas gigantes, discos com diferentes perfis de densidade superficial de massa e modelos de distribuição de água. Nós também apresentamos um estudo dos efeitos de ressonâncias seculares nesses discos protoplanetários. Os principais resultados desses experimentos apontam a possibilidade da formação de planetas similares a Marte ao redor de 1.5 UA, especialmente, quando é considerado uma escala de depleção local, no disco protoplanetário, moderadamente alta (50-75%), localizada ao redor de 1.5 UA. Isto é observado juntamente com a formação de planetas do tipo Terra, em torno de 1 UA do Sol, com substanciais...
The study of terrestrial planet formation in the Solar System is crucial to understand how other planetary systems form and to infer the conditions that favored the origin and evolution of life on Earth. In this Thesis we present a numerical study of the accretion of terrestrial planets. Our main goal is study the late stage of the terrestrial planet accretion in the Solar System, especially the formation of Mars and the origin of Earth’s water. These two points have intrigued scientists for many years. Whereas the planet formed around Mars’ semimajor axis is, in general, much more massive than Mars, the origin of Earth’s water is a matter of intense debate. In view of that, we have developed a scenario considering a local depletion in the density of the protosolar nebula in order to analyze the low mass of Mars, and also explored a compound model of water distribution to study the origin of Earth’s water. We have carried out extensive numerical simulations of the formation of terrestrial planets in protoplanetary disks exploring a large variety of parameters of the system, as different giant planet configurations, surface density profiles and water distribution models. We also have presented a study of the effects of secular resonances on the evolution of these protoplanetary disks. Our main results point to the possibility of the formation of Mars-sized bodies around 1.5 AU, especifically when is considered a scale of the disk local mass-depletion moderately high (50-75%) around 1.5 AU, as well as Earth-sized planets can form around 1 AU with substantial amount of water.

Resumo: O estudo da formação de planetas terrestres no Sistema Solar, é crucial para compre- endermos como outros sistemas planetários formam e também inferir as condições que poderiam ter influenciado a origem e evolução de vida na Terra. Esta Tese de douto- rado apresenta um estudo numérico da formação de planetas terrestres. Nosso objetivo principal é analisar o último estágio da formação desses planetas no Sistema Solar, em particular, a formação de Marte e a origem da água da Terra. Esses dois pontos têm intrigado cientistas ao longo de muitos anos. Enquanto que o planeta produzido ao redor de 1.5 UA é, em geral, muito mais massivo do que Marte, na grande parte das simulações, a origem da água da Terra é outro tema de intenso debate. Em vista disso, nós desenvol- vemos um cenário considerando uma depleção local de massa, no disco protoplanetário, a fim de analisarmos a origem da baixa massa de Marte, e também usamos um modelo composto para estudarmos a origem da água da Terra. Este trabalho apresenta um grande número de simulações numéricas explorando uma diversidade de parâmetros do sistema. Entre os principais podemos citar as variadas configurações de planetas gigantes, discos com diferentes perfis de densidade superficial de massa e modelos de distribuição de água. Nós também apresentamos um estudo dos efeitos de ressonâncias seculares nesses discos protoplanetários. Os principais resultados desses experimentos apontam a possibilidade da formação de planetas similares a Marte ao redor de 1.5 UA, especialmente, quando é considerado uma escala de depleção local, no disco protoplanetário, moderadamente alta (50-75%), localizada ao redor de 1.5 UA. Isto é observado juntamente com a formação de planetas do tipo Terra, em torno de 1 UA do Sol, com substanciais... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The study of terrestrial planet formation in the Solar System is crucial to understand how other planetary systems form and to infer the conditions that favored the origin and evolution of life on Earth. In this Thesis we present a numerical study of the accretion of terrestrial planets. Our main goal is study the late stage of the terrestrial planet accretion in the Solar System, especially the formation of Mars and the origin of Earth's water. These two points have intrigued scientists for many years. Whereas the planet formed around Mars' semimajor axis is, in general, much more massive than Mars, the origin of Earth's water is a matter of intense debate. In view of that, we have developed a scenario considering a local depletion in the density of the protosolar nebula in order to analyze the low mass of Mars, and also explored a compound model of water distribution to study the origin of Earth's water. We have carried out extensive numerical simulations of the formation of terrestrial planets in protoplanetary disks exploring a large variety of parameters of the system, as different giant planet configurations, surface density profiles and water distribution models. We also have presented a study of the effects of secular resonances on the evolution of these protoplanetary disks. Our main results point to the possibility of the formation of Mars-sized bodies around 1.5 AU, especifically when is considered a scale of the disk local mass-depletion moderately high (50-75%) around 1.5 AU, as well as Earth-sized planets can form around 1 AU with substantial amount of water. Regarding the origin of Earth's water, we find that the compound model incorporating both the principal endogenous and exogenous theories, play an important role by...
