*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: Searching for Extrasolar Planets with the Keck Planet Finder<br>
*Lecturer*: Andrew Howard<br>
*Position*: Professor<br>
*Institution*: Caltech<br>
*Abstract*: <br>
The search for extrasolar planets has uncovered a dizzying array of planetary systems.  We have found new planet types – lava worlds and super-Earths – as well as planets orbiting more than one star.  We will tour this diverse landscape and discuss how a new tool called the Keck Planet Finder that was recently installed on the mighty 10-meter Keck Telescope is helping us unravel the mysteries of these planets.
