报告题目：Exoplanet Survey Using Large Telescopes

报告人： Dr.  Wang Ji （California Institute of Technology）

报告摘要： 

As thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, focus of exoplanet research shifts from increasing detection to statistical properties of an ensemble and in-depth characterization of the most scientifically interesting objects. In the quest for a general understanding planet formation and evolution, 5-10 m telescopes play an important role in providing crucial information of planets and their host stars. I will present exoplanet research conducted at Keck (2-10 m telescopes) and Palomar (Hale 5-m telescope) Observatories, in particular, how these two observatories advance our knowledge of planet formation under different stellar environment. With future instrument upgrades, advancement of exoplanet research will be continuously made and field expanded. I will highlight the promising future of remote sensing exoplanet.
