Description
With this survey we aim to derive accurate, multi-epoch radial velocities and atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg, [M/H] and V_rot_sini) of a large sample of carefully selected red clump (RC) stars located over a great circle at high Galactic latitudes. We acquired data of the program stars of high signal-to-noise ratio and high resolution with the Asiago Echelle spectrograph. We obtained radial velocities by applying cross-correlation and atmospheric parameters via chi2 fitting to a synthetic spectral library. Extensive tests were carried out by re-observing with the same instrument a large number of standard stars taken from a variety of sources in literature.
