Stellar activity of planetary host star HD 189733 (2008)
Boisse, I., Moutou, C., Vidal-Madjar, A., Bouchy, F., Pont, F., Hébrard, G., ...
Extra-solar planet search programs require high-precision velocity measurements. They need to study how to disentangle radial-velocity variations due to Doppler motion from the noise induced by...
Pont, F., Gilliland, R. L., Knutson, H., Holman, M., Charbonneau, D.
The nearby transiting system GJ 436b offers a unique opportunity to probe the structure and atmosphere of an extra-solar "hot Neptune". In this Letter, we present the main results of observations...
The sub-Jupiter mass transiting exoplanet WASP-11b (2008)
West, R. G., Cameron, A. Collier, Hebb, L., Joshi, Y. C., Pollacco, D., Simpson, E., ...
We report the discovery of a sub-Jupiter mass exoplanet transiting a magnitude V=11.7 host star 1SWASP J030928.54+304024.7. A simultaneous fit to the transit photometry and radial-velocity...
WASP-14b: 7.3 Mj transiting planet in an eccentric orbit (2008)
Joshi, Y. C., Pollacco, D., Cameron, A. Collier, Skillen, I., Simpson, E., Steele, I., ...
We report the discovery of a 7.3 Mjup exoplanet WASP-14b, one of the most massive transiting exoplanets observed to date. The planet orbits the tenth-magnitude F5V star USNO-B1 11118-0262485 with a...
WASP-10b: a 3M_J, gas-giant planet transiting a late-type K star (2008)
Christian, D. J., Gibson, N. P., Simpson, E. K., Street, R. A., Skillen, I., Pollacco, D., ...
We report the discovery of WASP-10b, a new transiting extrasolar planet (ESP) discovered by the WASP Consortium and confirmed using NOT FIES and SOPHIE radial velocity data. A 3.09 day period, 29...

WASP-1b and WASP-2b: Two new transiting exoplanets detected with SuperWASP and SOPHIE (2006)
Cameron, A. Collier, Bouchy, F., Hebrard, G., Maxted, P., Pollacco, D., Pont, F., ...
We have detected low-amplitude radial-velocity variations in two stars, USNO-B1.0 1219-0005465 (GSC 02265-00107 = WASP-1) and USNO-B1.0 0964-0543604 (GSC 00522-01199 = WASP-2). Both stars were...
A fast hybrid algorithm for exoplanetary transit searches (2006)
Cameron, A. Collier, Pollacco, D., Street, R. A., Lister, T. A., West, R. G., Wilson, D. M., ...
We present a fast and efficient hybrid algorithm for selecting exoplanetary candidates from wide-field transit surveys. Our method is based on the widely-used SysRem and Box Least-Squares (BLS)...
Refined parameters of the planet orbiting HD 189733 (2006)
Bakos, G. A., Knutson, H., Pont, F., Moutou, C., Charbonneau, D., Shporer, A., ...
We report on the BVRI multi-band follow-up photometry of the transiting extrasolar planet HD 189733b. We revise the transit parameters and find planetary radius RP = 1.154+/- 0.032RJ and inclination...
PISA: PI Software Architecture for Integrated Satellite Payload Controllers (2006)
Pont, F., Siegwart, R., Akuatse, D., Moulin, O., Vitulli, R.
Multi-Robot Localization Using Relative Observations (2005)
Martinelli, A., Pont, F., Siegwart, R.
In this paper we consider the problem of simultaneously localizing all members of a team of robots. Each robot is equipped with proprioceptive sensors and exteroceptive sensors. The latter provide...
