Abstract

Context. The HARPS high-resolution high-accuracy spectrograph was made available to the astronomical community in the second half of 2003. Since then, we have been using this instrument for monitoring radial velocities of a large sample of Solar-type stars (1400 stars) in order to search for their possible low-mass companions.
