The California and Carnegie Planet Search was started as the San Francisco State University Planet Search in 1987 by Geoffrey Marcy and R. Paul Butler. It involves the detection of radial velocity variations of stars due to extrasolar planets. The search is currently using telescopes at both the Lick and Keck observatories.
