In a laboratory experiment, water-ice aggregates are trapped in a vacuum chamber at a pressure of 2 mbar due to photophoresis and thermophoresis. The particles are located between a Peltier element at the bottom at 250 K and a reservoir of liquid nitrogen at the top at 77 K. Particle sizes vary between 20 micrometres and a few hundred micrometres. It is found that 95% of all the particles rotate about their vertical axis. A qualitative model is developed which explains why particles should mainly align to and rotate around the vertical. The results imply that rotation does not decrease the vertical strength of photophoretically driven motion in, e.g., protoplanetary discs.

Short period (<50 days) low-mass (<10Mearth) exoplanets are abundant and the few of them whose radius and mass have been measured already reveal a diversity in composition. Some of these exoplanets are found on eccentric orbits and are subjected to s
trong tides affecting their rotation and resulting in significant tidal heating. Within this population, some planets are likely to be depleted in volatiles and have no atmosphere. We model the thermal emission of these Super Mercuries to study the signatures of rotation and tidal dissipation on their infrared light curve. We compute the time-dependent temperature map at the surface and in the subsurface of the planet and the resulting disk-integrated emission spectrum received by a distant observer for any observation geometry. We calculate the illumination of the planetary surface for any Keplerian orbit and rotation. We include the internal tidal heat flow, vertical heat diffusion in the subsurface and generate synthetic light curves. We show that the different rotation periods predicted by tidal models (spin-orbit resonances, pseudo-synchronization) produce different photometric signatures, which are observable provided that the thermal inertia of the surface is high, like that of solid or melted rocks (but not regolith). Tidal dissipation can also directly affect the light curves and make the inference of the rotation more difficult or easier depending on the existence of hot spots on the surface. Infrared light curve measurement with the James Webb Space Telescope and EChO can be used to infer exoplanets rotation periods and dissipation rates and thus to test tidal models. This data will also constrain the nature of the (sub)surface by constraining the thermal inertia.
Since 1995, numerous close-in planets have been discovered around low-mass stars (M to A-type stars). These systems are susceptible to be tidally evolving, in particular the dissipation of the kinetic energy of tidal flows in the host star may modify
its rotational evolution and also shape the orbital architecture of the surrounding planetary system. Recent theoretical studies have shown that the amplitude of the stellar dissipation can vary over several orders of magnitude as the star evolves, and that it also depends on the stellar mass and rotation. We present here one of the first studies of the dynamics of close-in planets orbiting low-mass stars (from $0.6~M_odot$ to $1.2~M_odot$) where we compute the simultaneous evolution of the stars structure, rotation and tidal dissipation in its external convective envelope. We demonstrate that tidal friction due to the stellar dynamical tide, i.e. tidal inertial waves (their restoring force is the Coriolis acceleration) excited in the convection zone, can be larger by several orders of magnitude than the one of the equilibrium tide currently used in celestial mechanics. This is particularly true during the Pre Main Sequence (PMS) phase and to a lesser extent during the Sub Giant (SG) phase. Numerical simulations show that only the high dissipation occurring during the PMS phase has a visible effect on the semi-major axis of close-in planets. We also investigate the effect of the metallicity of the star on the tidal evolution of planets. We find that the higher the metallicity of the star, the higher the dissipation and the larger the tidally-induced migration of the planet.
This is an erratum for the publication Bolmont & Mathis 2016 (Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 126, 275-296, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10569-016-9690-3). There was a small mistake for the spin integration of our code which we corrected and
we take advantage of this erratum to investigate a bit further the influence of a planet on the spin of its host star.
The discovery that Vega is a rapidly rotating pole-on star has raised a number of questions about this fundamental standard, including such issues as its composition, and in turn its mass and age. We report here a reanalysis of Vegas composition. A f
ull spectral synthesis based on the Roche model derived earlier from NPOI interferometry is used. We find the line shapes in Vegas spectrum to be more complex than just flat-bottomed, which have been previously reported; profiles range from slightly self-reversed to simple ``V shapes. A high SNR spectrum, obtained by stacking spectra from the ELODIE archive, shows excellent agreement with the calculations, provided we add about 10 km/s of macroturbulence to the predicted spectra. From the abundance analysis, we find that Vega shows the peculiar abundance pattern of a W Bootis star as previously suggested. We investigate the effects of rotation on the deduced abundances and show that the dominant ionization states are only slightly affected compared to analyses using non-rotating models. We argue that the rapid rotation requires the star be fully mixed. The composition leads to masses and particularly ages that are quite different compared to what are usually assumed.
It has been widely thought that measuring the misalignment angle between the orbital plane of a transiting exoplanet and the spin of its host star was a good discriminator between different migration processes for hot-Jupiters. Specifically, well-ali
gned hot-Jupiter systems (as measured by the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect) were thought to have formed via migration through interaction with a viscous disk, while misaligned systems were thought to have undergone a more violent dynamical history. These conclusions were based on the assumption that the planet-forming disk was well-aligned with the host star. Recent work by a number of authors has challenged this assumption by proposing mechanisms that act to drive the star-disk interaction out of alignment during the pre-main sequence phase. We have estimated the stellar rotation axis of a sample of stars which host spatially resolved debris disks. Comparison of our derived stellar rotation axis inclination angles with the geometrically measured debris-disk inclinations shows no evidence for a misalignment between the two.
