ESPRESSO: A High Resolution Spectrograph for the Combined Coudé Focus of the VLT
In the frame of the call for proposal for the E-ELT instrumentation studies, the CODEX team carried out the feasibility study for a spectrograph for extremely stable Doppler measurements. The CODEX project and...

From ESPRESSO to CODEX
CODEX and ESPRESSO are concepts for ultra-stable, high-resolution spectrographs at the E-ELT and VLT, respectively. Both instruments are well motivated by distinct sets of science drivers. However, ESPRESSO wi...

Transiting Planets: Follow the FLAMES...
The identification of transiting planets candidates and their a posteriori confirmation and characterization by means of spectroscopic follow-up is allowing us to study the internal physics of these planets. H...

Codex
Many talks in this conference have shown the power of high resolution spectroscopy, coupled to high precision. A new spectrograph, fed by an Extremely Large Telescope, will have such a huge collecting power th...

Planet Detection Around M Dwarfs: New Constraints on Planet Formation Models
The dependence of planetary statistics on the physical conditions during the initial stages of the system (i.e. in the proto-planetary disk) represent an essential constraint on planetary formation mechanisms....

Pushing Down the Limits of the Radial Velocity Technique
We present results from the first three years of operations of the HARPS spectrograph installed on the ESO-3.6m telescope at La Silla Observatory, Chile. This instrument, primarily built to detect extrasolar p...

High-resolution Spectroscopy of Faint Stars with Transiting Planets
We present a series of studies based on high-resolution UVES/VLT spectroscopy of several faint stars for which a transit by a giant planet has been detected. The spectra were used to derive accurate stellar pa...

The HARPS Project
To pursue a competitive programme in the domain of extra-solar planet search, ESO proposed to build HARPS (High-Accuracy Radial-velocity Planetary Search), a new high-resolution spectrograph to be installed on...

Extrasolar Planets in the Southern Hemisphere: The CORALIE Survey
We are conducting a large survey to detect extrasolar planets by high precision Doppler spectroscopy using the new swiss Euler telescope and the spetrograph CORALIE. The sample includes 1600 nearby G and K sta...

The CORALIE Planet-Search Sample
This short contribution presents a description of the CORALIE sample selection of more than 1600 dwarf stars for the planet-search programme on the 1.2-m Euler Swiss telescope at La Silla. The instrumentation,...

Chapter
The New Planetary Systems
A summary on recent results about planet detections are presented. Some results about brown-dwarfs are also discussed in the context of the maximum mass for a giant planet and the realm of planetary formation ...

Indirect Searches: Doppler Spectroscopy and Pulsar Timing
The search for planetary systems by monitoring the motion of stellar objects along the line-of-sight is, up to now, the most efficient and successful way to detect planets. For millisec-pulsars, the measuremen...

Epicurus was Right: Other Worlds Exist!
The discovery of the first planet orbiting a solar type star acted on all groups working in that field as a tremendeous stimulation. Nine months after the discovery of 51 Peg B, five planetary companions have ...
