  Planets less massive than about 10 MEarth are expected to have no massive
H-He atmosphere and a cometary composition (50% rocks, 50% water, by mass)
provided they formed beyond the snowline of protoplanetary disks. Due to inward
migration, such planets could be found at any distance between their formation
site and the star. If migration stops within the habitable zone, this will
produce a new kind of planets, called Ocean-Planets. Ocean-planets typically
consist in a silicate core, surrounded by a thick ice mantle, itself covered by
a 100 km deep ocean. The existence of ocean-planets raises important
astrobiological questions: Can life originate on such body, in the absence of
continent and ocean-silicate interfaces? What would be the nature of the
atmosphere and the geochemical cycles ?
  In this work, we address the fate of Hot Ocean-Planets produced when
migration ends at a closer distance. In this case the liquid/gas interface can
disappear, and the hot H2O envelope is made of a supercritical fluid. Although
we do not expect these bodies to harbor life, their detection and
identification as water-rich planets would give us insight as to the abundance
of hot and, by extrapolation, cool Ocean-Planets.
