Descripción
Since the discovery of the first extrasolar planet 51 Pegb [1] more than 190 extrasolar planets have been detected in orbit around other stars by means of precise stellar radial velocity (RV) measurements. But all RV surveys are concentrating almost entirely on solar-type stars covering only a narrow spectral and stellar mass range (spectral type F8-K1, 0.7-1.3 M &sun;) and up to now only six substellar companions around the intermediate mass stars HD 47536 [2], HD 104985 [3], γ Cep [4], HD 11977 [5], HD 13189 [6], and β Gem [7] have been identified. Interestingly, all these planets have masses of several Jupiter masses.
