- Description:
- We report high-precision atmospheric parameters for 1907 stars in the N2K low-resolution spectroscopic survey, designed to identify metal-rich FGK dwarfs likely to harbor detectable planets. Of these stars, 284 are in the ideal temperature range for planet searches, T_eff_<=6000K, and have a 10% or greater probability of hosting planets based on their metallicities. This catalog contains measurements of [Fe/H] (sigma_[Fe/H]_=0.07dex), T_eff_(sigma_Teff=82K), and logg (sigma_logg_=0.13dex). Atmospheric parameters are derived from Lick index measurements, as described in Robinson et al. (2006, Cat. <J/ApJ/637/1102>). Lick indices are measured from spectra obtained with the GCAM spectrograph on the 2.1m telescope at KPNO.

- Description:
- We report new metallicities for stars of Galactic globular cluster M4 using the largest number of stars ever observed at high spectral resolution in any cluster. We analyzed 7250 spectra for 2771 cluster stars gathered with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) FLAMES+GIRAFFE spectrograph at VLT. These medium-resolution spectra cover a small wavelength range, and often have very low signal-to-noise ratios. We approached this data set by reconsidering the whole method of abundance analysis of large stellar samples from beginning to end. We developed a new algorithm that automatically determines the atmospheric parameters of a star. Nearly all of the data preparation steps for spectroscopic analyses are processed on the syntheses, not the observed spectra. For 322 red giant branch (RGB) stars with V<=14.7, we obtain a nearly constant metallicity, <[Fe/H]>=-1.07 ({sigma}=0.02). No difference in the metallicity at the level of 0.01 dex is observed between the two RGB sequences identified by Monelli et al. (2013MNRAS.431.2126M). For 1869 subgiant and main-sequence stars with V>14.7, we obtain <[Fe/H]>=-1.16 ({sigma}=0.09) after fixing the microturbulent velocity. These values are consistent with previous studies that have performed detailed analyses of brighter RGB stars at higher spectroscopic resolution and wavelength coverage. It is not clear if the small mean metallicity difference between brighter and fainter M4 members is real or is the result of the low signal-to-noise characteristics of the fainter stars. The strength of our approach is shown by recovering a metallicity close to a single value for more than 2000 stars, using a data set that is non-optimal for atmospheric analyses. This technique is particularly suitable for noisy data taken in difficult observing conditions.

- Description:
- Based on a collection of high-dispersion spectra obtained at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, the atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg, vt, and [Fe/H]) of 160 mid-F through early-K stars were extensively determined by the spectroscopic method using the equivalent widths of Fe I and Fe II lines along with the numerical technique of Takeda et al. (2002PASJ...54..451T). The results are comprehensively discussed and compared with the parameter values derived by different approaches (e.g., photometric colors, theoretical evolutionary tracks, Hipparcos parallaxes, etc.) as well as with the published values found in various literature. It has been confirmed that our purely spectroscopic approach yields fairly reliable and consistent results.

- Description:
- We are conducting a precision radial velocity study of a sample of 164 nearby giant stars in the southern hemisphere. In this work we present the spectroscopic atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg , vmic and [Fe/H]) for all of our targets. By comparing the position on the HR diagram with stellar evolutionary tracks, we derived the mass, radius and evolutionary status for every star in our sample. In addition, rotational velocities are also measured.

- Description:
- The spectral predictions of stellar population models are not as accurate in the ultra-violet (UV) as in the optical wavelength domain. One of the reasons is the lack of high-quality stellar libraries. The New Generation Stellar Library (NGSL), recently released, represents a significant step towards the improvement of this situation. To prepare NGSL for population synthesis, we determined the atmospheric parameters of its stars, we assessed the precision of the wavelength calibration and characterised its intrinsic resolution. We also measured the Galactic extinction for each of the NGSL stars. For our analyses we used ULySS, a full spectrum fitting package, fitting the NGSL spectra against the MILES interpolator. We find that the wavelength calibration is precise up to 0.1pix, after correcting a systematic effect in the optical range. The spectral resolution varies from 3{AA} in the UV to 10{AA} in the near-infrared (NIR), corresponding to a roughly constant reciprocal resolution R~1000 and an instrumental velocity dispersion 130km/s. We derived the atmospheric parameters homogeneously. The precision for the FGK stars is 42K, 0.24 and 0.09dex for Teff, logg and [Fe/H], respectively. The corresponding mean errors are 29K, 0.50 and 0.48dex for the M stars, and for the OBA stars they are 4.5 percent, 0.44 and 0.18dex. The comparison with the literature shows that our results are not biased.

- Description:
- The asteroseismic and planetary studies, like all research related to stars, need precise and accurate stellar atmospheric parameters as input. We aim at deriving the effective temperature (Teff), the surface gravity (logg), the metallicity ([Fe/H]), the projected rotational velocity (vsini) and the MK type for 169 F-, G-, K- and M-type Kepler targets which were observed spectroscopically from the ground with five different instruments. We use two different spectroscopic methods to analyse 189 high-resolution, high-signal-to-noise spectra acquired for the 169 stars. For 67 stars, the spectroscopic atmospheric parameters are derived for the first time. KIC 9693187 and 11179629 are discovered to be double-lined spectroscopic binary systems. The results obtained for those stars for which independent determinations of the atmospheric parameters are available in the literature are used for a comparative analysis. As a result, we show that for solar-type stars the accuracy of present determinations of atmospheric parameters is +/-150K in Teff, +/-0.15dex in [Fe/H] and +/-0.3dex in logg. Finally, we confirm that the curve-of-growth analysis and the method of spectral synthesis yield systematically different atmospheric parameters when they are applied to stars hotter than 6000K.

- Description:
- The catalogue is a compilation of the principal observed parameters of pulsars, including positions, timing parameters, pulse widths, flux densities, proper motions, distances, and dispersion, rotation, and scattering measures. It also lists the orbital elements of binary pulsars, and some commonly used parameters derived from the basic measurements. The catalogue includes all published rotation-powered pulsars, including those detected only at high energies. It also includes Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs) for which coherent pulsations have been detected. However, it excludes accretion-powered pulsars such as Her X-1 and the recently discovered X-ray millisecond pulsars.

- Description:
- We report observations of atomic carbon (C I [^3^P - ^3^P_0_]) for a sample of 49 southern hemisphere H II regions using the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory. The sources are compact and isolated members of the Wilson et al. (1970) H109{alpha} radio recombination line (RRL) catalog. The fourth Galactic quadrant is well covered by the sample. Atomic carbon emission is detected toward all of the regions, with multiple C I emission components found toward most sources. The RRL velocity is used to identify the C I emission associated with the H II region. We measure the mean velocity difference between the C I and RRL emission to be 0.8{+/-}2.8 km s^-1^. Within the measurement errors this is exact agreement in velocity; we conclude that all H II regions have associated C I emission. The mean C I line temperature of these components is 2.4{+/-}1.8 K, compared with 0.7{+/-}0.7 K for the C I emission components not associated with the H II region. This suggests that C I intensity is dominated by local heating. The FWHM line width of C I gas associated with H II regions also is marginally greater than that found for unassociated gas (6.7{+/-}3.0, compared with 4.8{+/-}2.4 km s-1).

- Description:
- We present results from an analysis of FUSE spectroscopy of the z_em_=0.57 quasar PKS 0405-123. We focus on the intervening metal-line systems identified along the sight line and investigate their ionization mechanism, ionization state, and chemical abundances. Including Hubble Space Telescope STIS spectroscopy, we survey the entire sight line and identify six O VI absorbers to a 3{sigma} equivalent width (EW) limit of 60m{AA}.
