The CORALIE survey for Southern extra-solar planets
نویسنده
چکیده
Activity related phenomena can induce radialvelocity variations, which can be very important when dealing with extra-solar planet search programmes requiring highprecision radial-velocity measurements. In this paper we present a new chromospheric activity index, SCOR, based on the Ca ii H line central reemission, and constructed using CORALIE spectra. After one year of measurements, values of SCOR are available for a sub-sample of stars of the Geneva extra-solar planet search programme. After transforming the SCOR values into the Mount-Wilson “S” scale we obtained values of the Ca ii H and K flux corrected from photospheric emission (R′ HK) for the stars. The first results are presented, and in particular we focus on the study of the relation between the observed radial-velocity scatter and the chromospheric activity index R′ HK, for F, G and K dwarfs.

The CORALIE survey for southern extra-solar planets
Doppler measurements from the high-resolution CORALIE spectrometer of the stars HD 75289 and HD 130322 reveal 2 new extra-solar giant planets. They are the second and third planetary candidates discovered with CORALIE in less than 1 year, since its installation on the 1.2-m Euler Swiss telescope at La Silla. The minimum mass of the planet around HD 75289 (m2 sin i = 0.42 MJup) is the lightest f...

A new extra-solar planet has been discovered in the context of the CORALIE survey at La Silla Observatory. This new planetary candidate orbits the star HD 192263 in an almost circular orbit at a distance of 0.15 AU, producing a 24.13 day periodic radial-velocity variation, with a semi-amplitude of 62 m s ?1. The derived minimum mass of the planet is 0.73 M Jup .
