Description
We report on the ground-based follow-up program of spectroscopic and
photometric observations of solar-like asteroseismic targets for the
Kepler space mission. These stars constitute a large group of more than
a thousand objects which are the subject of an intensive study by the
Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium Working Group 1 (KASC WG-1). In
the current work we will discuss the methods we use to determine the
fundamental stellar atmospheric parameters using high-quality stellar
spectra. These provide essential constraints for the asteroseismic
modelling and make it possible to verify the parameters in the Kepler
Input Catalogue (KIC).
