Abstract
Periodic Radial Velocity oscillations of the star 51 Pegasi measured at OHP (Observatoire de Haute-Provence) in 1995 revealed a planet orbiting around it. This first detection of an exoplanet had been expected for a long time, since everyone was convinced that most of the stars were surrounded by planets. This success, leading to the Nobel Prize of physics in 2019, is the result of the evolution of technics for the measurement of radial velocities of stars during half a century at OHP.
