Description
We present the complete spectroscopic analysis of 455 stars observed within the Penn State - Torun Centre for Astronomy Planet Search (PTPS) with the High Resolution Spectrograph of the 9.2m Hobby-Eberly Telescope. We also present the total sample of 744 evolved stars of the PTPS and discuss masses of stellar hosts in our and other surveys devoted to evolved planetary systems. Stellar atmospheric parameters were determined through a strictly spectroscopic LTE analysis of equivalent widths of FeI and FeII lines. Rotational velocities were obtained from fitting synthetic spectra. Radial velocities were obtained from fitting a Gaussian function to the cross-correlation function. We determined stellar masses, ages, and luminosities with a Bayesian analysis of theoretical isochrones. The radii were calculated either from derived masses and logg or from Teff and luminosities.
