Abstract

Over the past 14 years, Doppler spectroscopy has been very successful in detecting and characterizing extrasolar planets, providing us with a wealth of information on these distant worlds (e.g., Marcy et al. 2005a; Udry and Santos 2007b; Udry et al. 2007a). One important and considerably unexpected fact these new data have taught us is that diversity is the rule in the planetary world. Diversity is found not only in the characteristics and orbital properties of the ∼ 340 planets detected thus far,1 but also in the types of environments in which they reside and are able to form. This observation has prompted a serious revision of the theories of planet formation (e.g., Lissauer and Stevenson 2007; Durisen et al. 2007; Nagasawa et al. 2007), leading to the idea that planet formation may be a richer and more robust process than originally thought.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For the sake of conciseness, we will henceforth call “planets in binaries” the planets residing either in true binaries or in hierarchical multiple systems.

  2. 2.

    Single-lined spectroscopic binaries are systems for which only the spectrum of the primary component is detected, while double-lined spectroscopic binaries are systems for which the spectra of both components are detected. See Section 2.4 for further details on spectroscopic binaries.

  3. 3.

    The two CORAVEL instruments (Baranne et al. 1979) were used extensively between 1977 and 1998 to monitor the radial velocity of more than 60,000 nearby stars at an intermediate precision (typically 300 m s− 1) in both hemispheres.

  4. 4.

    In the expression for the minimum mass, M 2 is the true mass of the planet and i is the inclination of the orbit with respect to the tangent plane of the sky.
