Description
A large ground-based spectroscopic and photometric programme has
accompanied the asteroseismological photometric observations of the
satellite CoRoT since its launch. These simultaneously complementary
observations allow to better characterize the targets, identify the
modes and recover many other interesting physical information. In this
paper, the spectroscopic ground-based programme is described,
particularly with regards of the HARPS data, and some scientific cases
are presented.
The CoRoT space mission has been developed and is operated by the French
space agency CNES, with participation of ESA (RSSD and Science
Programme), Austria, Belgium. Brazil, Germany and Spain.
