Up to now, planet search programs have concentrated on main sequence stars later than spectral type F5. However, identifying planets of early type stars would be interesting. For example, the mass loss of planets orbiting early and late type stars is different because of the differences of the EUV and X-ray radiation of the host stars. As an initial step, we carried out a program to identify suitable A-stars in the CoRoT fields using spectra taken with the AAOmega spectrograph. In total we identified 562 A-stars in IRa01, LRa01, and LRa02.
