The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect of CoRoT-3b & HD189733b (2009)
Queloz, Didier, Bouchy, Francois, Moutou, Claire, Cameron, Andrew Collier, Claret, Antonio, ...
We present radial-velocity sequences acquired during three transits of the exoplanet HD 189733b and one transit of the CoRoT-3b. We applied a combined Markov-Chain Monte Carlo analysis of...
SPHERE: a planet finder instrument for the VLT (2008)
Beuzit, Jean-Luc, Feldt, Markus, Dohlen, Kjetil, Mouillet, David, Puget, Pascal, Wildi, Francois, ...
Direct detection and spectral characterization of extra-solar planets is one of the most exciting but also one of the most challenging areas in modern astronomy. The challenge consists in the very...
Intrinsic Stellar Limitations to Planet Searches With Radial-Velocity Techniques (2007)
Nuno C. Santos, Michel Mayor, Dominique Naef, Francesco Pepe, Didier Queloz, Stéphane Udry
. To date, more than 20 extra-solar giant planets have been found using high-precision radial-velocity techniques. In June 1998 we started a long-term extra-solar planet-search programme using the...
HARPS, a new high-resolution spectrograph for the search of extra-solar planets (2007)
Francesco Pepe, Michel Mayor, Bernard Delabre, Dominique Kohler, Daniel Lacroix, Didier Queloz, ...
HARPS (High-Accuracy Radial-velocity Planetary Search) is a high-resolution spectrograph dedicated to the search for extra-solar planets by means of precise radial-velocity (RV) measurements. It will...
Primordial Binaries in the Globular Cluster Omega Centauri (omega Cen) (2007)
Michel Mayor, Antoine Duquennoy, Stéphane Udry, Johannes Andersen, Birgitta Nordström
. In a search for spectroscopic binaries in ! Cen, the radial velocities of 310 giant stars have been monitored with multiple observations over more than ten years. The percentage of binaries with...
