Dynamical streams in the solar neighbourhood
B. Famaey, A. Jorissen, X. Luri +4
The true nature of the Hyades and Sirius superclusters is still an open question. In this contribution, we confront Eggen's hypothesis that they are cluster remnants with the resul…
The HARPS survey for southern extra-solar planets II. A 14 Earth-masses exoplanet around mu Arae
N. C. Santos, F. Bouchy, M. Mayor +13
In this letter we present the discovery of a very light planetary companion to the star mu Ara (HD160691). The planet orbits its host once every 9.5days, and induces a sinusoidal r…
The ELODIE Planet Search: Synthetic View of the Survey and its Global Detection Threshold
D. Naef, M. Mayor, J. L. Beuzit +4
In this paper, we give a synthetic view of the ELODIE Planet Search Survey: a short description of our instrument and the surveyed sample as well as a brief review of our detection…
An L0 dwarf companion in the brown dwarf desert, at 30 AU
T. Forveille, D. Ségransan, P. Delorme +8
We present the discovery of an L0 companion to the nearby M1.5 dwarf G 239-25, at a projected distance of 31 AU. It is the faintest companion discovered so far in our adaptive opti…
Detection of a NEPTUNE-mass planet in the Cancri system using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
Barbara E. McArthur, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran +9
We report the detection of the lowest mass extra-solar planet yet found around a Sun-like star - a planet with an \msini of only 14.21 2.91 Earth masses in an extremely short…
The "missing link": a 4-day period transiting exoplanet around OGLE-TR-111
Frederic Pont, Francois Bouchy, Didier Queloz +4
We report the discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter around OGLE-TR-111, from our radial velocity follow-up of OGLE transiting candidates in Carina. The planet has a mass of 0.53 +-…
