... Recently we have undertaken the detection of two new extrasolar planets, orbiting the giant stars HD 47536 (ref b) and HD 122430 (ref c). These results were consequences of our precise radial velocity (RV) measurements of G and K giants (ref a). A number of stars from our list of 80 targets have bee ...
