Has Marcy continued to be the leader in exoplanet discovery in the
21st century. Perhaps he has. I didn't think so, but I'm willing to
learn different.

As far as noteworthy astronomers go, I might suggest Geoffrey Marcy, who

Marci was first, but back in late 20th century when he was still at
SFSU.
And your point would be...?

It's my understanding that he didn't die on January 1st, 2001... And
like I said, he has discovered more than anyone else (last time I
checked).
Either way, don't have have anything better to do than be a prick?

Sorry I came across as a nit-picker.
I had a chance to talk to a a grad. student of Marcy's when he was
still at SFSU and I was there studying Japanese.
I heard he had moved on. I didn't know he was still lead the race in
finding exoplanets. Thanks for update.

Hi David,
Please accept my apologies; I mistook you for one of the many trolls who
like to yank people's chains around here.
I was merely suggesting an active astronomer that a newbie might find
interesting. As far as I know Marcy is still at work:

Clear skies,
Greg
