Scientific paper

The ultimate goal of the Stellar Planet Survey (STEPS) program is to discover planetary companions to M-dwarfs. A secondary goal is to inventory all other low mass companions and their properties. Thus far these have been other M-dwarfs and at least one brown dwarf (BD), GJ 802B, that is one of the few BD to have a dynamical mass measurement. With increased temporal baseline the data have become more sensitive to extra-solar giant planets (EGPs). In addition collaborative imaging efforts have complemented the astrometric work. One such technique is adaptive optics imaging with a non-redundant mask. This talk describes the program, the collaborative work, and the recent results, including a possible EGP discovery. The research described in this talk was performed in part by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
