    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...

    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....

    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...
