Direct imaging has confirmed the existence of substellar companions on wide orbits. To understand the formation and evolution mechanisms of these companions, the full population properties must be characterized. We aim at detecting giant planet and/or brown dwarf companions around young, nearby, and dusty stars. Our goal is also to provide statistics on the population of giant planets at wide-orbits and discuss planet formation models. We report a deep survey of 59 stars, members of young stellar associations. The observations were conducted with VLT/NaCo at L'-band (3.8 micron). We used angular differential imaging to reach optimal detection performance. A statistical analysis of about 60 % of the young and southern A-F stars closer than 65 pc allows us to derive the fraction of giant planets on wide orbits. We use gravitational instability models and planet population synthesis models following the core-accretion scenario to discuss the occurrence of these companions. We resolve and characterize new visual binaries and do not detect any new substellar companion. The survey's median detection performance reaches contrasts of 10 mag at 0.5as and 11.5 mag at 1as. We find the occurrence of planets to be between 10.8-24.8 % at 68 % confidence level assuming a uniform distribution of planets in the interval 1-13 Mj and 1-1000 AU. Considering the predictions of formation models, we set important constraints on the occurrence of massive planets and brown dwarf companions that would have formed by GI. We show that this mechanism favors the formation of rather massive clump (Mclump > 30 Mj) at wide (a > 40 AU) orbits which might evolve dynamically and/or fragment. For the population of close-in giant planets that would have formed by CA, our survey marginally explore physical separations (<20 AU) and cannot constrain this population.
Analysis of membership probability in nearby young moving groups with Gaia DR2
利用$\textit{Gaia}$ DR 2数据分析了年轻恒星属于附近运动星群的成员概率。1429颗恒星的样本是从“疑似邻近年轻运动群恒星目录”中鉴定出来的。从$\textit{Gaia}$ DR 2数据库中检索了890颗恒星的视差和自行值。在LACEwING算法的框架下对成员概率进行了分析。根据分析,确认279颗恒星不属于任何已知的运动群。我们估计的$\textit{ U, V, W}$空间速度值为250个移动组成员,这被发现是更准确的比以前的值在文献中列出。所有运动群的速度椭圆都被很好地限制在“好盒”内,这是一个广泛使用的标准来识别运动群成员。利用MIST等时线对$\textit{Gaia}$色星等图进行分析,统一估计了运动群成员的年龄。我们发现属于某些移动群体的恒星年龄分布存在差异,这需要进一步研究。
