We use precision radial-velocity instruments in Chile to uncover the first Jupiter-analogues orbiting metal-rich stars. The key to our project is the combination with space-based astrometric measurements taken by Hipparcos and Gaia, whereby we are developing statistical models that can search the parameter space using a joint model to not only detect these planets, but also to measure their absolute masses and orbital characteristics.
