LINE PROFILE VARIATIONS BY USING HARPS The fingerprint of the nonradial pulsations
V1127 Aql: the full Blazhko effect
Line profile variations allow us :-To separate radial modes from nonradial modes-To broke the degeneracy in m due to the rotational splitting
Mean line profile (top) and standarddeviation across the line profile(in red after removing 20 frequencies)

PLATOPLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of Stars
The exoplanetary system explorer
Main objective: - detect and characterize exoplanets of all kinds around stars of all
types and all ages full statistical study of formation and evolution of
exoplanetary systems- including telluric planets in the habitable zone of their host stars
Three complementary techniques:- photometric transits : Rp/Rs (Rs known thanks to Gaia)
- groundbased follow-up in radial velocity : Mp/Ms
- seismic analysis of host-stars (stellar oscillations) : Rs, Ms, age
> measurement of radius and mass, hence of planet mean density
> measurement of age of host stars, hence of planetary systems
Tool:- ultra-high precision, long, uninterrupted, CCD photometric monitoring of very
large samples of bright stars: CoRoT - Kepler heritage
- bright stars: efficient groundbased follow-up and capability of seismic analysis
