DESCRIPTION:Located only 10 pc from the Sun\, AU Mic is one of the brighte
 st M-dwarfs in the sky (M1V\, V=8.6). Its membership of the beta Pictoris 
 moving group gives it an age of 12 +/- 2 Myr\, and it has long been known 
 to host an edge-on debris disk. There has been tentative detection of 2 or
 biting planets\, that if confirmed around such a young star could change p
 lanet formation and migration theories. For this\, we analyse HARPS data i
 n order to try and confirm the presence of these planets and/or put constr
 aints on the detection limits. In order to make our results more robust\, 
 we perform injection tests\, where we artificially introduce a signal into
  the data and try to recover it\, in order to try to asses our sensitivity
  to the presence of such planets.
