We report on the search for planets orbiting 46 nearby young stars performed
at the State Observatory of Turingia (TLS) by means of a radial velocity
survey. The aim of this program is to test the theories of formation/evolution
of planetary systems. For 19(8) stars we can exclude planets with Msini > 1 MJ
(5 MJ) and P < 10 days; we find 1 short period binary and 5 stars with long
period RV-trend. One good young exo-planet candidate is presented.
