Transiting Sub-stellar companions of Intermediate-mass stars

We use the CoRoT-survey to search for transiting close-in planets of intermediate-mass stars (M* = 1.3 − 2.1 M⊙). We present recent results of our survey. RV-surveys and direct imaging campaigns showed, that intermediate-mass main-sequence stars have more massive planets then solar-like stars. Even...
