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…
VINCI / VLTI observations of Main Sequence stars
P. Kervella, F. Thevenin, P. Morel +7
Main Sequence (MS) stars are by far the most numerous class in the Universe. They are often somewhat neglected as they are relatively quiet objects (but exceptions exist), though t…
A Planet Candidate in the Stellar Triple System HD178911
S. Zucker, D. Naef, D. W. Latham +9
We report the detection of a low-mass companion orbiting the solar-type star HD178911B, the distant component of the stellar triple system HD178911. The variability of HD178911B wa…
Bisector analysis as a diagnostic of intrinsic radial-velocity variations
N. C. Santos, M. Mayor, D. Naef +2
In this contribution we present the results of the application of the bisector of the cross-correlation function as a diagnostic of activity-related radial-velocity variations. The…
A planet orbiting the star Gliese 86
D. Queloz, M. Mayor, L. Weber +7
A 4MJ planet with a 15.8day orbital period has been detected from very precise radial velocity measurements with the CORALIE echelle spectrograph. A second remote and more massive…
The closest extrasolar planet: A giant planet around the M4 dwarf Gl 876
Xavier Delfosse, Thierry Forveille, Michel Mayor +3
High precision radial velocity observations of the nearby M4 dwarf Gl 876 with the Observatoire de Haute Provence 1.93 m telescope and the new 1.20 m swiss telescope at la Silla in…
