Astrometric search for a planet around VB 10

P. F. Lazorenko, J. Sahlmann, D. Segransan +9

We observed VB 10 in August and September 2009 using the FORS2 camera of the VLT with the aim of measuring its astrometric motion and of probing the presence of the announced plane…

The HARPS search for southern extrasolar planets XXV. Results from the metal-poor sample

N. C. Santos, M. Mayor, X. Bonfils +10

Searching for extrasolar planets around stars of different metallicity may provide strong constraints to the models of planet formation and evolution. In this paper we present the…

Evidence against the young hot-Jupiter around BD +20 1790

P. Figueira, M. Marmier, X. Bonfils +11

Context. The young active star BD +20 1790 is believed to host a substellar companion, revealed by radial-velocity measurements that detected the reflex motion induced on the paren…

Evaluating the stability of atmospheric lines with HARPS

P. Figueira, F. Pepe, C. Lovis +1

Context: In the search for extrasolar systems by radial velocity technique, a precise wavelength calibration is necessary for high-precision measurements. The choice of the calibra…

The HARPS search for southern extrasolar planets XXI. Three new giant planets orbiting the metal-poor stars HD5388, HD181720, and HD190984

N. C. Santos, M. Mayor, W. Benz +11

We present the discovery of three new giant planets around three metal-deficient stars: HD5388b (1.96M_Jup), HD181720b (0.37M_Jup), and HD190984b (3.1M_Jup). All the planets have m…
