Pennsylvania-Toruń Planet Search

Pennsylvania-Toruń Planet Search (PTPS) aims at detection of planets around 885 evolved stars: 515 giants, 238 subgiants and 132 dwarfs. The project is a result of collaboration of our group with prof. Alexander Wolszczan (PennState). Up to now 22 planetary systems have been detected around other stars.

The research is based on observations with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope in Texas and Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in the Canary Islands.
