Description
Context. Thanks to the importance that the star-planet relation has to
our understanding of the planet formation process, the precise
determination of stellar parameters for the ever increasing number of
discovered extrasolar planets is of great relevance. Furthermore,
precise stellar parameters are needed to fully characterize the planet
properties. It is thus important to continue the efforts to determine,
in the most uniform way possible, the parameters for stars with planets
as new discoveries are announced. Aims: In this paper we present
new precise atmospheric parameters for a sample of 50 stars with
planets. The results are presented in the catalogue: SWEET-Cat.
Methods: Stellar atmospheric parameters and masses for the 50 stars were
derived assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium and using
high-resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra. The methodology used
is based on the measurement of equivalent widths with ARES2 for a list
of iron lines. The line abundances were derived using MOOG. We then used
the curve of growth analysis to determine the parameters. We implemented
a new minimization procedure which significantly improves the
computational time. Results: The stellar parameters for the 50
stars are presented and compared with previously determined literature
values. For SWEET-Cat, we compile values for the effective temperature,
surface gravity, metallicity, and stellar mass for almost all the planet
host stars listed in the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia. This data
will be updated on a continuous basis. The data can be used for
statistical studies of the star-planet correlation, and for the
derivation of consistent properties for known planets.
Based on observations collected at the La Silla Observatory, ESO
(Chile), with FEROS/2.2 m (run 2014B/020), with UVES/VLT at the Cerro
Paranal Observatory (runs ID 092.C-0695, 093.C-0219, 094.C-0367,
095.C-0324, and 096.C-0092), and with FIES/NOT at Roque de los Muchachos
(Spain; runs ID 14AF14 and 53-202).The compiled SWEET-Cat is available
