ELODIE metallicity-biased search for transiting Hot Jupiters. II. A very hot Jupiter transiting the bright K star HD 189733
Among the 160 known exoplanets, mainly detected in large radial-velocity surveys, only 8 have a characterization of their actual mass and radius thanks to the two complementary methods of detection:… Expand
HD 80606 b, a planet on an extremely elongated orbit ?
We report the detection of a planetary companion orbiting the solar-type star HD 80606, the brighter component of a wide binary with a projected separation of about 2000 AU. Using high-signal… Expand
Spectroscopic parameters for 451 stars in the HARPS GTO planet search program - Stellar [Fe/H] and the frequency of exo-Neptunes
- S. Sousa, N. Santos, +6 authors M. Monteiro
- Physics
- 30 May 2008
To understand the formation and evolution of solar-type stars in the solar neighborhood, we need to measure their stellar parameters to high accuracy. We present a catalogue of accurate stellar… Expand
S B 9 : The ninth catalogue of spectroscopic binary orbits
- D.Pourbaix, A. Tokovinin, +6 authors S. Udry
- Physics
- 25 June 2004
The Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be) continues the series of compilations of spectroscopic orbits carried out over the past 35 years by Batten and… Expand
Local kinematics of K and M giants from CORAVEL/Hipparcos/Tycho-2 data: Revisiting the concept of superclusters
- B. Famaey, A. Jorissen, +4 authors C. Turon
- Physics
- 24 September 2004
The availability of the Hipparcos Catalogue has triggered many kinematic and dynamical studies of the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, those studies generally lacked the third component of the… Expand

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS ) will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Explorer mission.… Expand
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XI. Super-Earths (5 and 8 M{⊕}) in a 3-planet system
- S. Udry, X. Bonfils, +19 authors Verrieres-le-Buisson
- Physics
- 29 April 2007
This Letter reports on the detection of two super-Earth planets in the Gl 581 system, which is already known to harbour a hot Neptune. One of the planets has a mass of 5 M⊕ and resides at the “warm”… Expand
An Earth-mass planet orbiting α Centauri B

- Nature
- 8 November 2012
Exoplanets down to the size of Earth have been found, but not in the habitable zone—that is, at a distance from the parent star at which water, if present, would be liquid. There are planets in the… Expand
Multiplicity among solar-type stars III. Statistical properties of the F7-K binaries with periods up to 10 years ?
- J. Halbwachs, M. Mayor, S. Udry, Frédéric Arenou
- Physics
- 2003
Two CORAVEL radial velocity surveys - one among stars in the solar neighbourhood, the other in the Pleiades and in Praesepe - are merged to derive the statistical properties of main-sequence binaries… Expand
Detection of a NEPTUNE-mass planet in the $ρ^{1}$ Cancri system using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
- B. Mcarthur, M. Endl, +9 authors T. Harrison
- Physics
- 31 August 2004
We report the detection of the lowest mass extrasolar planet yet found around a Sun-like star—a planet with an M sin i of only 14.21 ± 2.91 M⊕ in an extremely short period orbit (P = 2.808 days)… Expand
