The N2K Consortium. VII. Atmospheric Parameters of 1907 Metal-rich Stars: Finding Planet-Search Targets
We report high-precision atmospheric parameters for 1907 stars in theN2K low-resolution spectroscopic survey, designed to identify metal-richFGK dwarfs likely to harbor detectable planets. Of these stars, 284 arein the ideal temperature range for planet searches,Teff<=6000 K, and have a 10% or greater probability ofhosting planets based on their metallicities. The stars in thelow-resolution spectroscopic survey should eventually yield >60 newplanets, including 8-9 hot Jupiters. Short-period planets have alreadybeen discovered orbiting the survey targets HIP 14810 and HD 149143.
| High proper motion stars in Kapteyn Selected Area 94
We have applied the astrometric techniques devised by Murray foranalysis of 48-inch Schmidt photographic data to SuperCOSMOS scans of UKSchmidt plates centred on Kapteyn's Selected Area 94(α=2h 53m, δ=0°). In thispreliminary study, we combine astrometric data from four short-exposureV-band plates, taken in 1987 August (2 plates) and 1993 August (2plates), with BVRI photometry from sky-limited plate material, toidentify stars with proper motions exceeding 0.1arcsecyr-1.This paper discusses the completeness of the resulting sample andpresents spectroscopy of 30 stars with μ>0.2arcsecyr-1.Based on the latter observations and the distribution in the[HV, (V-I)] reduced proper-motion diagram, we have classifiedstars in the complete sample as candidate white dwarfs, main-sequencedwarfs and halo subdwarfs, and derived estimates of the disc and haloluminosity functions.
