The circumstellar disk of PDS 70 hosts two forming planets, which are actively accreting gas from their environment. In this work, we report the first detection of PDS 70 b in the Br$alpha$ and $M$ filters with VLT/NACO, a tentative detection of PDS 70 c in Br$alpha$, and a reanalysis of archival NACO $L$ and SPHERE $H23$ and $K12$ imaging data. The near side of the disk is also resolved with the Br$alpha$ and $M$ filters, indicating that scattered light is non-negligible at these wavelengths. The spectral energy distribution of PDS 70 b is well described by blackbody emission, for which we constrain the photospheric temperature and photospheric radius to $T_mathrm{eff}=1193 pm 20$ K and $R=3.0 pm 0.2$ $R_mathrm{J}$. The relatively low bolometric luminosity, $log(L/L_odot) = -3.79 pm 0.02$, in combination with the large radius, is not compatible with standard structure models of fully convective objects. With predictions from such models, and adopting a recent estimate of the accretion rate, we derive a planetary mass and radius in the range of $M_mathrm{p}approx 0.5-1.5$ $M_mathrm{J}$ and $R_mathrm{p}approx 1-2.5$ $R_mathrm{J}$, independently of the age and post-formation entropy of the planet. The blackbody emission, large photospheric radius, and the discrepancy between the photospheric and planetary radius suggests that infrared observations probe an extended, dusty environment around the planet, which obscures the view on its molecular composition. Finally, we derive a rough upper limit on the temperature and radius of potential excess emission from a circumplanetary disk, $T_mathrm{eff}lesssim256$ K and $Rlesssim245$ $R_mathrm{J}$, but we do find weak evidence that the current data favors a model with a single blackbody component.
Directly imaged planets and substellar companions are key targets for the characterization of self-luminous atmospheres. Their photometric appearance at 4-5 $mu$m is sensitive to the chemical composition and cloud content of their atmosphere. We aim
The theory of remote sensing shows that observing a planet at multiple phase angles ($alpha$) is a powerful strategy to characterize its atmosphere. Here, we analyse how the information contained in reflected-starlight spectra of exoplanets depends o
In recent decades, thousands of substellar companions have been discovered with both indirect and direct methods of detection. In this paper, we focus our attention on substellar companions detected with the direct imaging technique, with the primary
Aims: We aim to characterize the orbital and atmospheric properties of PDS 70 b, which was first identified on May 2015 in the course of the SHINE survey with SPHERE, the extreme adaptive-optics instrument at the VLT. Methods: We obtained new deep SP
Abbreviated. By selecting stars with similar ages and masses, the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES) aims to detect and characterize planetary-mass companions to solar-type host stars in the Scorpius-Centaurus association. Our survey is carried out w
