  We present the detection of a 0.47 Jupiter mass planet in a 44-day period
eccentric trajectory (e=0.39) orbiting the metal-rich star HD45652. This
planet, the seventh giant planet discovered in the context of the ELODIE
metallicity-biased planet search program, is also confirmed using higher
precision radial-velocities obtained with the CORALIE and SOPHIE spectrographs.
The orbital period of HD45652b places it in the middle of the "gap" in the
period distribution of extra-solar planets.
