2 Direct imaging (of gas giants) Quanz et al Courtesy of M. Bonnefoy (Grenoble)

3 Direct imaging (II) Recent technique, fewer planet detections (rare) but growing number Sensitive to M ~ several MJup at au which are young or even forming (embedded) Bowler (2016)

4 Luminosity of young gas giants Measure brightness of planet (L) + age (of host star) Determining planet mass: need to use cooling curves: L = L(age, mass, L init )

5 Luminosity of young gas giants Measure brightness of planet (L) + age (of host star) Determining planet mass: need to use cooling curves: L = L(age, mass, L init ) Problem: post-formation luminosity L init unknown (large) uncertainty in mass! Marley et al. (2017) Marleau & Cumming (2014)

6 Luminosity of young gas giants Measure brightness of planet (L) + age (of host star) Determining planet mass: need to use cooling curves: L = L(age, mass, L init ) Problem: post-formation luminosity L init unknown (large) uncertainty in mass! Up to recently, no prediction of L statistics (dn/dldm) Marley et al. (2017) Marleau & Cumming (2014) key physics which sets L init not simulated
