Oral title: SHINE, SPHERE High-contrast ImagiNg survey for Exoplanets

Oral abstract: The SHINE survey for SPHERE High-contrast ImagiNg survey for Exoplanets, is a large direct imaging 
near-infrared survey of 400-600 young, nearby stars carried out in the context of the SPHERE consortium Guaranteed 
Time Observations representing 200 nights spread between 2015 and 2020. Our scientific goals are to characterize 
known planetary systems (architecture, orbit, stability, luminosity, atmosphere), to search for new planetary systems 
using SPHERE’s unprecedented performances, finally to determine the occurrence and orbital and mass function 
properties of the wide-orbit, giant planet population as a function of the stellar host mass and age. In this talk, after 
summarizing the SHINE strategy and current performances after almost 3 years of operation, I will review the 
breakthrough results obtained so far including the discoveries of new exoplanet/BD companions and disks, the study of 
young planetary system architecture and stability, finally the fine characterization of the physical properties and 
atmospheres of the lightest and coolest Jovian exoplanets imaged to date.
