Scientific paper

Since 1995 more than 70 exoplanets have been detected by radial velocity survey. HARPS is a new spectrograph specially dedicated to the search for extra-solar planets by high precision Doppler measurements. HARPS is presently in its integration phase and will be installed on the ESO 3.6-m telescope at La Silla at the end of 2002. Thanks to its high luminosity and spectral resolution, its exceptional thermo-mechanical stability and vacuum operation, HARPS is expected to attain a precision close to the 1 m/s limit and to detect companions down to 5 earth mass. Fully adapted to characterize the masses (and then densities) of planet candidates detected by transits, one part of its program will be dedicated to the radial velocity follow-up of transit events detected by COROT.
