Lick Observatory PEAS: THE PLANET AS EXOPLANET ANALOG SPECTROGRAPH

What is PEAS?

A dedicated 0.5-m telescope and novel instrument that saw first light in November 2020 at Lick Observatory. The instrument is designed to observe Solar System planets as if they are exoplanets. PEAS observations in combination with theoretical modeling will help to inform the next generation of instruments designed to characterize exoplanets.
