Berkeley Nexus for Exoplanet System Science

At Berkeley we are currently using the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) to survey 600 young, nearby stars for extrasolar planets and debris disks; we are pursuing investigations that combine Kepler, Keck and the Automated Planet Finder to characterize more distant and older planetary systems with both gas giant and rocky planets; and we are pursing state-of-the-art analytical and numerical techniques to advance the theory of planet formation and evolution.
