  1. RecentResults and Future Improvements of OHP 193-cm Telescopewith SOPHIE Michel BOER [OHP] Francois BOUCHY [IAP/OHP]

  2. 1.93-m telescope SOPHIE : high precision echelle spectrograph CARELEC : long-slit low-res. Spectrograph Others (users): MEFOS, GHASP Pressure factor ~ 2 1.52-m telescope AURELIE : medium and high-res. Spectrograph ELPOA: Laser Guide star R&T project (2010-11) 1.20-m telescope CCD camera: photometry

  3. 193cm telescope: CARELEC Spectrograph: 1986 - • Long-slit spectrographe (5 arc-min) • for faint objects • Galaxy velocities • Identification of X-ray and IR sources • Follow-up of SNs • AGNs • Planetary Nebulae • H II regions • Binaries

  4. high-precisionRV spectrograph • - Replaces ELODIE (1995-2006) • Commissioned since Nov 2006 • Res. = 70’000 - = 380-680 nm • RV precision 3-4 m/s • - Half-time dedicated to exoplanets

  5. SOPHIE Results in exoplanetology 17 papers since 2007 16 exoplanets WASP-1b and WASP-2b : two new transiting exoplanets detected with SuperWASP and SOPHIE (Cameron et al. 2007) Misaligned spin-orbit in the X0-3 planetary system ? (Hébrard et al. 2008)

  6. SOPHIE Results in stellar physics 8 papers since 2007 Asteroseismology of Procyon with SOPHIE (Mosser et al., 2008)

  7. A key element for the space mission CoRoT 6 papers since 2007 CoRoT-Exo-1b: a low-density short-period planet around a G0V star (Barge et al. 2008) CoRoT-Exo-3b: The fisr secure inhabitant of the brown-dwarf desert (Deleuil et al. 2008)

  8. Perspectives and goals for SOPHIE • Search for Super-Earth exoplanets in the North • Hemisphere (HARPS find that30% of solar-type stars • have a low-mass exoplanet) • Search for long-period exoplanets [1994 - 2014] • Thanks to the unprecedented large time base at OHP • - Doppler Asteroseismology • - Follow-up CoRoT and Kepler (and Plato ?) • Bench test for Expresso (VLT-2), SPIROU (CFHT) • and Codex (ELT) • - Follow-up GAIA

  9. RV HARPS RV Search for Super-Earth like exoplanets

  10. telescope 2009-2010 : A New Cassegrain Fiber adaptor for SOPHIE tip-tilt Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector Calibration Unit Guiding Camera New fibers And new double scrambler to reach 1 m/s precision

  11. The OHP 193/120 connection: Photometric observations of transiting exoplanets Detection of the transiting Hot-Jupiter orbiting the bright star HD189733 Bouchy et al. 2005 Detection of the primary transit of the 111-day-period exoplanet orbiting the bright star HD80606 Moutou et al. 2005
