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…

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 +-…

Two new "very hot Jupiters" among the OGLE transiting candidates

F. Bouchy, F. Pont, N. C. Santos +4

As a result of a radial velocity follow-up of OGLE planetary transit candidates in Carina, we report the discovery of two new transiting planets with very short orbital periods: OG…
