Abstract: We have applied the BEER algorithm (Faigler& Mazeh 2011) to the CoRoT white-light curves from the first five LRc fields. We have found 491 non-eclipsing BEER candidates with periodic photometric modulations and amplitudes of 0.5–80 mmag. Medium-resolution spectra of 281 candidates were obtained in a seven-night AAOmega radial-velocity (RV) campaign, with a precision of ∼1 km s-1. The RVs confirmed the binarity of at least 60 of the BEER candidates, with RV semi-amplitudes ranging from 6 to 115 km s-1, and periods from 0.3 to 10 days. We detected an F-type star that may possibly have a brown dwarf companion in a 0.7-day period orbit.
