Description
We surveyed a small sample of metal-rich solar-like stars in our planet search program during the last 3 years. Here we present the detection of a brown dwarf and 3 long-period massive planet (or brown dwarf) candidates as well as one short-period planet candidate with m sin i ˜ 0.1 M_{Jup}. Furthermore, we calculated the upper mass limits of possible companions for the other stars.
