TheAnglo Australian Planet Search or (AAPS) is a long-termastronomical survey started in 1998 and continuing to the present. It is being carried out on the 3.9-metreAnglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) of theAnglo-Australian Observatory inAustralia. The purpose of this survey is to catalog planets around more than 240nearby stars of the southern hemisphere. For its observations, the AAT uses theUniversity College London Echelle Spectrograph,UCLES, anechelle spectrograph from theUniversity College London located at the telescope'scoudé focus.[1] This survey uses theradial velocity method to search forextrasolar planets.[2]
The survey eventually switched its main focus to detecting long-period Jupiter analogs.[3]
This survey has announced the discovery of 28 planetary objects as of February 2014, including three multi-planet systems.
