Description
We report the detection of two very eccentric planets orbiting HD 4113 and HD 156846 with the CORALIE Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 1.2-m Euler Swiss telescope at La Silla. The first planet, HD 4113 b, has minimum mass of msini=1.6+/-0.2M_{Jup}_, a period of P=526.59+/-0.21-days and an eccentricity of e=0.903+/-0.02. It orbits a metal rich G5V star at a=1.28AU, which displays an additional radial velocity drift of 28m/s/ observed during 8 years. The second planet, HD 156846 b, has minimum mass of msini=10.45+/-0.05M_{Jup}_, a period of P=359.51+/-0.09days, an eccentricity of e=0.847+/-0.002 and is located at a=1.0AU from its parent star. HD 156846 is a metal rich G0 dwarf and is also the primary of a wide binary system (a>250AU, P>4000-years). Its stellar companion, IDS 17147-1914 B, is a M4 dwarf.
