Abstract
We report here the discovery of two planet candidates as a result of our planet-search programme biased in favour of high-metallicity stars, using the ELODIE spectrograph at the Observatoire de Haute Provence. One candidate has a minimum mass $m_2\sin{i} = 2.5$  $M_{\rm Jup}$ and is orbiting the metal-rich star HD 43691 with period P = 40 days and eccentricity e=0.14. The other planet has a minimum mass $m_2\sin{i} = 5.6$  $M_{\rm Jup}$ and orbits the slightly metal-rich star HD 132406 with period P=974 days and eccentricity e = 0.34. Additional observations for both stars were performed using the new SOPHIE spectrograph that replaces the ELODIE instrument, allowing an improved orbital solution for the systems.


Key words: stars: individual: HD 43691 -- stars: individual: HD 132406 -- planetary systems -- techniques: radial velocities

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
