Scientific paper

The advent of the new SOPHIE spectrograph at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP) 193cm telescope takes place in the short list of the high precision spectrographs after 15 years of planet searches with ELODIE. A consortium has been established gathering 22 members from Geneva, Paris, Grenoble and Marseille exoplanet teams. The objectives are to characterize the zoo of exoplanets and to bring strong constraints on their processes of formation and evolution using the radial velocity technique. An observational proposal over 110 nights per semester has been submitted to cover efficiency all the crucial aspects of exoplanetary science extending the sample of known exoplanets over a large range of primary star parameters.
