Resumen:
The high-mass end of the extrasolar planet distribution probably overlaps with the low-mass end of the brown dwarf distribution. In this poster we review the latest discoveries of transiting companions to main sequence stars with masses between 10 and 80 Mjup. These objects provide valuable clues to disentangle the massive planet population from that of low-mass brown dwarves, and are also of crucial importance to test models of planetary formation.
