The recent high spatial/spectral resolution observations have enabled constraining formation mechanisms of giant planets, especially at the final stages. The current interpretation of such observations is that these planets undergo magnetospheric accretion, suggesting the importance of planetary magnetic fields. We explore the properties of accreting, magnetized giant planets surrounded by their circumplanetary disks, using the physical parameters inferred for PDS 70 b/c. We compute the magnetic field strength and the resulting spin rate of giant planets, and find that these planets may possess dipole magnetic fields of either a few 10 G or a few 100 G; the former is the natural outcome of planetary growth and radius evolution, while the resulting spin rate cannot reproduce the observations. For the latter, a consistent picture can be drawn, where strong magnetic fields induced by hot planetary interiors lead both to magnetospheric accretion and to spin-down due to disk locking. We also compute the properties of circumplanetary disks in the vicinity of these planets, taking into account planetary magnetic fields. The resulting surface density becomes very low, compared with the canonical models, implying the importance of radial movement of satellite-forming materials. Our model predicts a positive gradient of the surface density, which invokes the traps for both satellite migration and radially drifting dust particles. This work thus concludes that the final formation stages of giant planets are similar to those of low-mass stars such as brown dwarfs, as suggested by recent studies.

We present $L$-band imaging of the PDS 70 planetary system with Keck/NIRC2 using the new infrared pyramid wavefront sensor. We detected both PDS 70 b and c in our images, as well as the front rim of the circumstellar disk. After subtracting off a mod
el of the disk, we measured the astrometry and photometry of both planets. Placing priors based on the dynamics of the system, we estimated PDS 70 b to have a semi-major axis of $20^{+3}_{-4}$~au and PDS 70 c to have a semi-major axis of $34^{+12}_{-6}$~au (95% credible interval). We fit the spectral energy distribution (SED) of both planets. For PDS 70 b, we were able to place better constraints on the red half of its SED than previous studies and inferred the radius of the photosphere to be 2-3~$R_{Jup}$. The SED of PDS 70 c is less well constrained, with a range of total luminosities spanning an order of magnitude. With our inferred radii and luminosities, we used evolutionary models of accreting protoplanets to derive a mass of PDS 70 b between 2 and 4 $M_{textrm{Jup}}$ and a mean mass accretion rate between $3 times 10^{-7}$ and $8 times 10^{-7}~M_{textrm{Jup}}/textrm{yr}$. For PDS 70 c, we computed a mass between 1 and 3 $M_{textrm{Jup}}$ and mean mass accretion rate between $1 times 10^{-7}$ and $5 times~10^{-7} M_{textrm{Jup}}/textrm{yr}$. The mass accretion rates imply dust accretion timescales short enough to hide strong molecular absorption features in both planets SEDs.
Advances in high-resolution imaging have revealed H$alpha$ emission separated from the host star. It is generally believed that the emission is associated with forming planets in protoplanetary disks. However, the nature of this emission is still not
fully understood. Here we report a modeling effort of H$alpha$ emission from the planets around the young star PDS 70. Using standard magnetospheric accretion models previously applied to accreting young stars, we find that the observed line fluxes can be reproduced using a range of parameters relevant to PDS 70b and c, with the mean mass accretion rate of log(${rm dot{M}}$) = $-8.0pm0.6$ M$_{rm Jup}$ yr$^{-1}$ and $-8.1pm0.6$ M$_{rm Jup}$ yr$^{-1}$ for PDS 70b and PDS 70c, respectively. Our results suggest that H$alpha$ emission from young planets can originate in the magnetospheric accretion of mass from the circumplanetary disk. We find that empirical relationships between mass accretion rate and H$alpha$ line properties frequently used in T Tauri stars are not applicable in the planetary mass regime. In particular, the correlations between line flux and mass accretion rate underpredict the accretion rate by about an order of magnitude, and the width at the 10% height of the line is insensitive to the accretion rate at ${rm dot{M}}$ $< 10^{-8}$ M$_{rm Jup}$ yr$^{-1}$.
We present the first observational evidence for a circumplanetary disk around the protoplanet PDS~70~b, based on a new spectrum in the $K$ band acquired with VLT/SINFONI. We tested three hypotheses to explain the spectrum: Atmospheric emission from t
he planet with either (1) a single value of extinction or (2) variable extinction, and (3) a combined atmospheric and circumplanetary disk model. Goodness-of-fit indicators favour the third option, suggesting circumplanetary material contributing excess thermal emission --- most prominent at $lambda gtrsim 2.3 mu$m. Inferred accretion rates ($sim 10^{-7.8}$--$10^{-7.3} M_J$ yr$^{-1}$) are compatible with observational constraints based on the H$alpha$ and Br$gamma$ lines. For the planet, we derive an effective temperature of 1500--1600 K, surface gravity $log(g)sim 4.0$, radius $sim 1.6 R_J$, mass $sim 10 M_J$, and possible thick clouds. Models with variable extinction lead to slightly worse fits. However, the amplitude ($Delta A_V gtrsim 3$mag) and timescale of variation ($lesssim$~years) required for the extinction would also suggest circumplanetary material.
As host to two accreting planets, PDS 70 provides a unique opportunity to probe the chemical complexity of atmosphere-forming material. We present ALMA Band 6 observations of the PDS~70 disk and report the first chemical inventory of the system. With
a spatial resolution of 0.4-0.5 ($sim$50 au), 12 species are detected, including CO isotopologues and formaldehyde, small hydrocarbons, HCN and HCO+ isotopologues, and S-bearing molecules. SO and CH3OH are not detected. All lines show a large cavity at the center of the disk, indicative of the deep gap carved by the massive planets. The radial profiles of the line emission are compared to the (sub-)mm continuum and infrared scattered light intensity profiles. Different molecular transitions peak at different radii, revealing the complex interplay between density, temperature and chemistry in setting molecular abundances. Column densities and optical depth profiles are derived for all detected molecules, and upper limits obtained for the non detections. Excitation temperature is obtained for H2CO. Deuteration and nitrogen fractionation profiles from the hydro-cyanide lines show radially increasing fractionation levels. Comparison of the disk chemical inventory to grids of chemical models from the literature strongly suggests a disk molecular layer hosting a carbon to oxygen ratio C/O>1, thus providing for the first time compelling evidence of planets actively accreting high C/O ratio gas at present time.
We present results from a radial-velocity survey of 373 giant stars at Lick Observatory, which started in 1999. The previously announced planets iota Dra b and Pollux b are confirmed by continued monitoring. The frequency of detected planetary compan
ions appears to increase with metallicity. The star nu Oph is orbited by two brown dwarf companions with masses of 22.3 M_Jup and 24.5 M_Jup in orbits with a period ratio close to 6:1. It is likely that the two companions to nu Oph formed in a disk around the star.
