Adamczyk1 ABSTRACT We present three giant stars from the ongoing Penn State-Toru´nPlanet Search with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope, which exhibit radial velocity variations that point to a presence of planetary {mass companions around them. BD+49 828 +0:4 is a M = 1:52 0:22 M K0 giant with a m sin i = 1:6−0:2 MJ minimum mass ± +0:32 +300 +0:24 companion in a = 4:2−0:2 AU (2590−180d), e = 0:35−0:10 orbit. HD 95127, a log L=L = 2:28 0:38, R = 20 9 R , M = 1:20 0:22 M K0 giant has +0:61± ± ± +0:01 +5 a msini=5:01−0:44 MJminimum mass companion in a = 1:28−0:01 AU (482−5d), +0:15 e = 0:11−0:06 orbit. Finally, HD 216536, is a M = 1:36 0:38 M K0 giant +0:20 ± +0:002 with a m sin i = 1:47−0:12 MJ minimum mass companion in a = 0:609−0:002 AU +0:7 +0:12 (148:6−0:7d), e = 0:38−0:10 orbit. Both, HD 95127 b and HD 216536 b in their compact orbits, are very close to the engulfment zone and hence prone to ingestion in the near future. BD+49 828 b is among the longest period planets detected with the radial velocity technique until now and it will remain unaffected by 1Toru´nCentre for Astronomy, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru´n,Grudziadzka 5, 87-100 Toru´n, Poland,
