Exoplanet discoveries with the CoRoT space observatory
The CoRoT space observatory is a project which is led by the French space agency CNES and leading space research institutes in Austria, Brazil, Belgium, Germany and Spain and also the European Space Agency ESA...

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...

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...

Towards High-Precision Astrometry: Diferential Delay Lines for PRIMA@VLTI
Deriving orbital parameters and masses of extrasolar planets by means of measuring the variation of the host star positions requires an astrometric accuracy of 10 microarcsec. To achieve this goal, a consortiu...
