Leger, A., Rouan, D., Schneider, J., Barge, P., Fridlund, M., Samuel, B., ...
We report the discovery of very shallow (DF/F = 3.4 10-4), periodic dips in the light curve of an active V = 11.7 G9V star observed by the CoRoT satellite, which we interpret as due to the presence...

Planetary transit candidates in COROT-IRa01 field (2009)
Carpano, S., Cabrera, J., Alonso, R., Barge, P., Aigrain, S., ...
Context: CoRoT is a pioneering space mission devoted to the analysis of stellar variability and the photometric detection of extrasolar planets. Aims: We present the list of planetary transit...
Noise properties of the CoRoT data: a planet-finding perspective (2009)
Aigrain, S., Pont, F., Fressin, F., Alapini, A., Alonso, R., Auvergne, M., ...
In this short paper, we study the photometric precision of stellar light curves obtained by the CoRoT satellite in its planet finding channel, with a particular emphasis on the timescales...

Technical development status of A STEP 400 (2008)
Daban, J, Gouvret, C, Agabi, A, Guillot, T, Fressin, F, Abe, L, ...
Bordé, P., Fressin, F., Ollivier, M., Léger, A., Rouan, D.
We present a matched-filter based algorithm for transit detection and its application to simulated COROT light curves. This algorithm stems from the work by Bord\'e, Rouan & L\'eger (2003). We...
The CoRoT exoplanet programme: exploring the gas-giant/terrestrial planet transition (2007)
Aigrain, S., Barge, P., Deleuil, M., Fressin, F., Moutou, C., Queloz, D., ...
CoRoT, which was launched successfully on the 27th of December 2006, is the first space mission to have the search for planetary transits at the heart of its science programme. It is expected to be...
A STEP: Towards a Large Photometric Survey for Exoplanets at Dome C (2007)
Fressin, F., Guillot, T., Agabi, A., Moutou, C., Aigrain, S., ...
We present "A STEP" (Antarctica Search for Transiting Extrasolar Planets), a project dedicated to the search for planetary transits from Antartica. The project consists of a semi-automatic ~40 cm...

The Influence of Blends on the Potential of Extrasolar Planets Transit Surveys (2005)
Gillon, Michaël, Magain, Pierre, Guillot, T, Fressin, F
Due to their low geometric probability, planetary transits are rare, and photometric surveys searching for such events have to observe many stars at once and, thus, deal with rather crowded fields....
