Aims: In the frame of the search for extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs
around early-type stars, we present the results obtained for the F-type
main-sequence star HD 60532 (F6V) with HARPS.
Methods: Using 147 spectra obtained with HARPS at La Silla on a time baseline
of two years, we study the radial velocities of this star.
Results: HD 60532 radial velocities are periodically variable, and the
variations have a Keplerian origin. This star is surrounded by a planetary
system of two planets with minimum masses of 1 and 2.5 Mjup and orbital
separations of 0.76 and 1.58 AU respectively. We also detect high-frequency,
low-amplitude (10 m/s peak-to-peak) pulsations. Dynamical studies of the system
point toward a possible 3:1 mean-motion resonance which should be confirmed
within the next decade.Comment: 7 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in A&
