Abstract:
    The β Pictoris system with its debris disk and a massive giant
    planet orbiting at ~=9AU represents an ideal laboratory for studying
    giant planet formation and evolution as well as planet-disk
    interactions. β Pic b can also help in testing brightness-mass
    relations at young ages. Other planets, yet undetected, may of course
    be present in the system.

    We aim at directly constraining the mass of β Pic b and at
    searching for additional jovian planets on orbits closer than
    typically 2AU.

Description:
    We used high-precision Harps data collected over eight years since
    2003 to measure and analyse β Pic radial velocities.
