- Abstract
Due to their high v sin I, early-type main-sequence stars have been considered as unsuitable targets for radial-velocity surveys. Knowing about the presence of planets around those stars is however a key issue to understand the impact of the mass of the central star on the way planets form and evolve. We developped in recent years a method that allows to search for planets around those stars and started radialvelocity surveys focused on these targets. We report here some results obtained so far in terms of performances and detection.
