Description
The Penn State - Torun Planet Search (PTPS) performed with the
Hobby-Eberly Telescope is devoted to search and characterization of
extrasolar planetary systems around evolved stars. For complete
description of these systems detailed knowledge of their suns is
essential. Therefore, in parallel to the planet search we perform a
complete spectroscopic analysis of 1000 PTPS targets using existing
photometric/astrometric data and our high resolution, high SNR HET/HRS
template spectra. Here we present detailed description of 350 PTPS
stars from the Red Giant Clump sample. For these stars both atmospheric
(Teff, log g, [Fe/H]) and fundamental (log L/Lsun, M/Msun, R/Rsun, age)
parameters were determined. For stars with unknown trigonometric
parallaxes spectrophotometric parallaxes were determined. We also
obtained absolute radial velocities and performed cross-correlation
analysis in search for spectroscopic binaries. The sample galactic
distribution and complete kinematical characteristic is presented as
well.
