Scientific paper

We propose to test the hypothesis that jupiter-like planets are formed at distances from the primary dictated by the 'freezing' temperature of the volatiles which comprise jovian planets. Predicted periods for jovian planets orbiting this sample of very late-type, low-mass stars range from 70 to 160 days. We shall monitor the positions of these nearby late-M stars with a time-resolution of 4 to 10 days in an attempt to detect positional perturbations caused by possible jovian companions. Detection limits for these proposed targets lie between 0.4 and one Jupiter mass.
