Resumen:
This talk will give a brief review and update on the Lick-Carnegie
Exoplanet Survey. We have had over 1000 nearby stars under survey for
exoplanets using radial velocities from Keck, AAT, and Magellan
telescopes, with a typical precision of 2-3 m/s. The talk will also
highlight the Automated Planet Finder (APF), an automated 2.4-m
telescope and highly optimized spectrometer facility dedicated to
exoplanet survey work and nearing completion at Lick Observatory.
