Scientific paper

We present the first empirical limits on the near-infrared planet/star flux ratios for the inner planets of the tau Boo and 55 Cnc systems. We obtained high-SNR spectra of these systems over three nights with NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope. We search for the time-varying radial velocity signature of the planet by deconvolving our spectra with a model spectral linelist; the orbital parameters and planet/star flux ratios are then estimated by comparing the resultant radial velocity profile with an ensemble of system models.
