Up to now our knowledge on frequency of planets of stars that are more massive than the sun is rather limited. In here we present the discovery of a planet orbiting the F4V-F6V star 30 Ari B, which is also a member of a hierarchical triple-star system.

We present results of our projected rotational velocities (V sin i) measurements of F, G and K giants obtained from the cross-correlation function (CCF) constructed from high signal to noise spectra. We also present the calibration of the HET/HRS cross-correlation function to determine accurate projected rotational velocities V sin i for slowly

Searches for planets around evolved G-K subgiant and giant stars are essential for developing general understanding of planet formation and evolution of the planetary systems. Precise radial velocity (RV) measurements of giants have lead to the discovery of ten planets around such star. However, the long period radial velocity variations of red

The Magellanic System represents one of the best places to study the formation and evolution of galaxies. Photometric surveys of various depths, areas and wavelengths have had a significant impact on our understanding of the system; however, a complete picture is still lacking. VMC (the VISTA near-infrared YJKs survey of the Magellanic System) will
