First results from the Calan–Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search : exoplanets and the discovery of an eccentric brown dwarf in the desert
(2009)
We report the discovery of a brown dwarf on an eccentric orbit and with a semimajor axis that places it in the brown dwarf desert region around the star HD 191760. The star has a spectral type of G3IV/V and a metallicity ...
A metal-biased planet search
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)
We have begun a metal-rich planet search project using the HARPS instrument in La Silla, Chile to target planets with a high potential to transit their host star and add to the number of bright benchmark transiting planets. ...
Rotational velocities for M dwarfs
(2009)
We present spectroscopic rotation velocities (v sin i) for 56 M dwarf stars using high-resolution Hobby-Eberly Telescope High Resolution Spectrograph red spectroscopy. In addition, we have also determined photometric ...
HD 179949b - a close orbiting extrasolar giant planet with a stratosphere?
(2008)
We have carried out a search for the 2.14-μm spectroscopic signature of the close orbiting extrasolar giant planet, HD179949b. High-cadence time-series spectra were obtained with the Cryogenic high-resolution InfraRed ´ ...
Near infrared spectroscopic search for the close orbiting planet HD 75289b
(2007)
We present a search for the near infrared spectroscopic signature of the close orbiting extrasolar giant planet HD 75289b. We obtained »230 spectra in the wavelength range 2.18 ¹m- 2.19 ¹m using the Phoenix spectrograph ...
