A. P. Hatzes

Artie Hatzes is one of the pioneers in searching for extrasolar planets and he brings over 30 years experience in the use of precise stellar radial velocity measurements. Besides searching for extrasolar planets, he has also extended the use of these types of measurements to the study of stellar oscillations in magnetic A-type and K giant stars. Hatzes received his Bachelor of Science with Honor from the California Institute of Technology and his Master of Science and PhD from the University of California in Santa Cruz. In 1988 he joined Bill Cochran at the University of Texas at Austin for the start of the McDonald Observatory Planet Search Program. He has been working exoplanets ever since. Hatzes is currently director of the Thuringian State Observatory and Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena, Germany.
