55 Cancri system planet comparison Newfound planetary system has 'hometown' look After 15 years of observation and a lot of patience, the world's premier planet-hunting team has finally found a planetary system that reminds them of our own home solar system. The team announced a total of 13 new planets today, including the smallest ever detected. MORE Animation of the 55 Cancri system 4 Ways ...

The Kepler Mission is a space mission designed to detect and characterize hundreds of Earth-size planets in the Habitable Zone of a wide variety of stars. The method will look for periodic dimming caused by transits of planets in front of their stars.

Planetary motions around their host stars, in principle, cause small variations in the radial velocity of the star as viewed from the earth. The amplitude of these variations depends upon the gravitational influence of the planetary system about the host star.

The AFOE: A Spectrograph for Precise Stellar Radial Velocity Measurements Detection of a high-eccentricity low-mass companion to HD 89744 The Instrument The Advanced Fiber-Optic Echelle (AFOE) spectrometer is a fiber-fed, bench-mounted echelle spectrograph, located at the 1.5m (60 ) telescope of the Whipple Observatory, near Tucson, Arizona. A spectrograph is an instrument that spreads out light ...

The TEP network What is TEP The TEP network is a group of collaborators searching for Transits of Extrasolar Planets. Our major effort is the observation of the eclipsing binary star CM-Draconis for signs of the presence of planets using the transit method. For a quick introduction to the project, read the Poster from the JENAM-95 conference. A more thorough, and up-to-date introduction is ...

Welcome to the ASP Homepage - The Arizona Search for Planets was begun in 1996 by Dr. Steve Howell. A series of preliminary tests were conducted to discover how to get the greatest sensitivity in our measurements. Now that those tests have been completed, we are expanding our efforts to begin a full scale survey project. This includes our joining the collaboration to operate the 1.3-m telescope ...
