Scientific paper

We propose to take advantage of the very high resolution, sensitivity and attenuation capabilities of the FOC to search for planets of other stars, in order to get direct proof of their existence and to obtain data on the formation of planetary systems. Stars like Eps Eri and Barnard's are prime candidates for this search, because they are close to the Sun and their motion seems to be perturbed by unseen low-mass companions. The FOC is very suited to carry out the search, thanks to the photon counting capabilities, and to the small pixel size resolving the structure of the PSF of the bright primary star. A roll-blinking technique will be used to improve the detection capabilities.
