SUMMARY:"Exoplanet and solar system synergies through novel instrument
 ation and observations”\, Special Talk\, Dr. Emily Martin\, 51 Pegas
 i b Fellow\,  UC Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:There are now thousands of known exoplanets in our galaxy 
 and yet characterizing them remains a technical challenge. Solar syste
 m planets and brown dwarfs can serve as benchmarks for exoplanet obser
 vations and they provide high signal-to-noise data that we cannot yet 
 access for exoplanets. My research combines instrumentation developmen
 t with observations of brown dwarfs and solar system planets to advanc
 e our ability to interpret exoplanet atmospheres. In this talk\, I wil
 l present an overview of the NIRSPEC upgrade for Keck Observatory\, wh
 ich made the instrument more sensitive for observing exoplanet and bro
 wn dwarf atmospheres. Then\, I will present preliminary work using upg
 raded NIRSPEC to track time-resolved varying spectral features to crea
 te 2D surface maps of cold brown dwarfs. Lastly\, I will discuss a new
  instrument that I designed and built for Lick Observatory\, the Plane
 t as Exoplanet Analog Spectrograph (PEAS) that observes solar system p
 lanets as if they are point-source exoplanets.<br>
