The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) MARVELS (Multi-object Apache point observatory Radial Velocity Exo-planet Large-area Survey) project is currently in its second year of operation. The MARVELS survey is currently searching for giant planets around a large and diverse set of host stars from F, G, and K dwarfs and subgiants to G and K giants. The MARVELS survey has already canvassed over 2500 stars primarily ranging in V magnitude from 7.6 to 12.
This presentation will cover an overview of the MARVELS Survey including operations and data processing during the first year of observing. There will also be a discussion of the ongoing analysis of the MARVELS radial velocity curves. This analysis will consider identification of variable objects, period searching, and ultimately identifying MARVELS candidates for binaries, brown dwarfs, and planets. Early results from the first year of operation will be shown.
We wish to acknowledge support from the W.M. Keck Foundation, NSF, SDSS-III consortium, NASA and UF.
