The study of stellar parameters of planet-hosting stars, such as metallicity and chemical abundances, help us to understand the theory of planet formation and stellar evolution. Here, we present a catalogue of accurate stellar atmospheric parameters and iron abundances for a sample of 257 K and G field evolved stars that are being surveyed for planets using precise radial--velocity measurements as part of the CORALIE programme to search for planets around giants. The analysis was done using a set of high--resolution and high--signal-to-noise Ultraviolet and Visible Echelle Spectrograph spectra. The stellar parameters were derived using Fe I and II ionization and excitation equilibrium methods. To take into account possible effects related to the choice of the lines on the derived parameters, we used three different iron line-list sets in our analysis, and the results differ among themselves by a small factor for most of stars. {For those stars with previous literature parameter estimates, we found very good agreement with our own values.} In the present catalogue we are providing new precise spectroscopic measurements of effective temperature, surface gravity, microturbulence, and metallicity for 190 stars for which it has not been found or published in previous articles.

It has been occasionally suggested that Fe abundances of K dwarfs derived from Fe I and Fe II lines show considerable discrepancies and oxygen abundances determined from high-excitation O I 7771-5 triplet lines are appreciably overestimated (the prob
lem becoming more serious towards lower Teff), which however has not yet been widely confirmed. With an aim to clarify this issue, we spectroscopically determined the atmospheric parameters of 148 G-K dwarfs (Hyades cluster stars and field stars) by assuming the classical Fe I/Fe II ionization equilibrium as usual, and determined their oxygen abundances by applying the non-LTE spectrum fitting analysis to O I 7771-5 lines. It turned out that the resulting parameters did not show any significant inconsistency with those determined by other methods (for example, the mean differences in Teff and log g from the well-determined solutions of Hyades dwarfs are mostly <~100K and <~0.1dex). Likewise, the oxygen abundances of Hyades stars are around [O/H]~+0.2dex (consistent with the metallicity of this cluster) without exhibiting any systematic Teff-dependence. Accordingly, we conclude that parameters can be spectroscopically evaluated to a sufficient precision in the conventional manner (based on the Saha-Boltzmann equation for Fe I/Fe II) and oxygen abundances can be reliably determined from the O I 7771-5 triplet for K dwarfs as far as stars of Teff>~4500K are concerned. We suspect that previously reported strongly Teff-dependent discrepancies may have stemmed mainly from overestimation of weak-line strengths and/or improper Teff scale.
Aims:To support the computation and evolutionary interpretation of periods associated with the rotational modulation, oscillations, and variability of stars located in the CoRoT fields, we are conducting a spectroscopic survey for stars located in th
e fields already observed by the satellite. These observations allow us to compute physical and chemical parameters for our stellar sample. Method: Using spectroscopic observations obtained with UVES/VLT and Hydra/Blanco, and based on standard analysis techniques, we computed physical and chemical parameters ($T_{rm{eff}}$, $log ,(g)$, $rm{[Fe/H]}$, $v_{rm{mic}}$, $v_{rm{rad}}$, $v sin ,(i)$, and $A(rm{Li})$) for a large sample of CoRoT targets. Results: We provide physical and chemical parameters for a sample comprised of 138 CoRoT targets. Our analysis shows the stars in our sample are located in different evolutionary stages, ranging from the main sequence to the red giant branch, and range in spectral type from F to K. The physical and chemical properties for the stellar sample are in agreement with typical values reported for FGK stars. However, we report three stars presenting abnormal lithium behavior in the CoRoT fields. These parameters allow us to properly characterize the intrinsic properties of the stars in these fields. Our results reveal important differences in the distributions of metallicity, $T_{rm eff}$, and evolutionary status for stars belonging to different CoRoT fields, in agreement with results obtained independently from ground-based photometric surveys. Conclusions: Our spectroscopic catalog, by providing much-needed spectroscopic information for a large sample of CoRoT targets, will be of key importance for the successful accomplishment of several different programs related to the CoRoT mission, thus it will help further boost the scientific return associated with this space mission.
We present new ultra-metal-poor (UMP) stars parameters with [Fe/H]<-4.0 based on line-by-line non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) abundances using an up-to-date iron model atom with a new recipe for non-elastic hydrogen collision rates. We stu
dy the departures from LTE in their atmospheric parameter and show that they can grow up to ~1.0 dex in [Fe/H], 150K in Teff and 0.5 dex in log g toward the lowest metallicities. Accurate NLTE atmospheric stellar parameters, in particular [Fe/H] being signifcantly higher, are the first step to eventually providing full NLTE abundance patterns that can be compared with Population III supernova nucleosynthesis yields to derive properties of the first stars. Overall, this maximizes the potential of these likely second-generation stars to investigate the early universe and how the chemical elements were formed.
Giant stars, and especially C-rich giants, contribute significantly to the chemical enrichment of galaxies. The determination of precise parameters for these stars is a necessary prerequisite for a proper implementation of this evolutionary phase in
the models of galaxies. Infrared interferometry opened new horizons in the study of the stellar parameters of giant stars, and provided new important constraints for the atmospheric and evolutionary models.We aim to determine which stellar parameters can be constrained by using infrared interferometry and spectroscopy, in the case of C-stars what is the precision which can be achieved and what are the limitations. For this purpose we obtained new infrared spectra and combined them with unpublished interferometric measurements for five mildly variable carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars. The observations were compared with a large grid of hydrostatic model atmospheres and with new isochrones which include the predictions of the thermally pulsing phase. For the very first time we are able to reproduce spectra in the range between 0.9 and 4 $mu$m, and $K$ broad band interferometry with hydrostatic model atmospheres. Temperature, mass, log$(g)$, C/O and a reasonable range for the distance were derived for all the objects of our study. All our targets have at least one combination of best-fitting parameters which lays in the region of the HR-diagram where C-stars are predicted. We confirm that low resolution spectroscopy is not sensitive to the mass and log$(g)$ determination. For hydrostatic objects the $3,mu$m feature is very sensitive to temperature variations therefore it is a very powerful tool for accurate temperature determinations. Interferometry can constrain mass, radius and log$(g)$ but a distance has to be assumed. The large uncertainty in the distance measurements available for C-rich stars remains a major problem.
The scientific communitys interest on the stellar parameters of M dwarfs has been increasing over the last few years, with potential applications ranging from galactic characterization to exoplanet detection. The main motivation for this work is to d
evelop an alternative and objective method to derive stellar parameters for M dwarfs using the H-band spectra provided by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). Synthetic spectra generated with textit{iSpec}, textit{Turbospectrum}, textit{MARCS} models atmospheres and a custom made line list including over 1 000 000 water lines, are compared to APOGEE observations, and parameters are determined through $chi^2$ minimization. Spectroscopic parameters ($T_mathrm{eff}$, $[M/H]$, $log g$, $v_{mic}$) are presented for a sample of 313 M dwarfs, obtained from their APOGEE H-band spectra. The generated synthetic spectra reproduce observed spectra to a high accuracy level. The impact of the spectra normalization on the results are analyzed as well. Our output parameters are compared with the ones obtained with APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundances Pipeline (ASPCAP) for the same stellar spectrum, and we find that the values agree within the expected uncertainties. Comparisons with other previous near-infrared and optical literature are also available, with median differences within our estimated uncertainties found in most cases. Possible reasons for these differences are explored. The full H-band line list, the line selection for the synthesis, and the synthesized spectra are available for download, as are the calculated stellar parameters.
