Cochran, WilliamUniversity of Texas, AustinAST 98-08980Drs. Cochran and Hatzes will continue the European Southern Observatory Planetary Survey, a high precision radial velocity survey to explore planetary environments beyond our solar system by detecting Jovian-mass planets in orbit around nearby solar- type stars. The survey will yield improved statistics on the fraction of solar-type stars with planetary systems, and the diversity of these systems. This award is made through NSF's special competition for Life in Extreme Environments, with participation by the Division of Astronomical Sciences and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

Cochran，WilliamUniversity of Texas，AustinAST 98- 08980博士。Cochran和Hatzes将继续欧洲南方天文台行星调查，这是一项高精度径向速度调查，通过探测附近太阳系恒星轨道上的木星质量行星来探索太阳系以外的行星环境。该调查将产生关于具有行星系统的太阳型恒星的比例以及这些系统的多样性的改进统计数据。 该奖项是通过NSF的极端环境中的生命特别竞赛颁发的，天文科学司和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室参加了该竞赛。
