We have embarked on a project, under the aegis of the Nearby Stars (NStars)/Space Interferometry Mission Preparatory Science Program, to obtain spectra, spectral types, and, where feasible, basic physical parameters for the 3600 dwarf and giant stars earlier than M0 within 40 pc of the Sun. In this paper, we report on the results of this project for the first 664 stars in the northern hemisphere. These results include precise, homogeneous spectral types, basic physical parameters (including the…

Spectroscopy of Dwarf Stars Around the North Celestial Pole
New space missions (e.g., NASA-TESS and ESA-PLATO) will perform an in-depth analysis of bright stars in large fields of the celestial sphere searching for extraterrestrial planets and investigating…
The Ages of A-Stars I: Interferometric Observations and Age Estimates for Stars in the Ursa Major Moving Group
We have observed and spatially resolved a set of seven A-type stars in the nearby Ursa Major moving group with the Classic, CLIMB, and PAVO beam combiners on the Center for High Angular Resolution…
The Effects of Starspots and Faculae on the G-band, Ca I, and Hγ Photospheric Indices
The observation and analysis of solar-type stars has been a rich area of research. Determining what the Sun was like when life was first taking hold on Earth, and what the Sun will be like as it ages…
CHROMOSPHERIC ACTIVITY OF SOUTHERN STARS FROM THE MAGELLAN PLANET SEARCH PROGRAM
I present chromospheric-activity measurements of ∼670 F, G, K, and M main-sequence stars in the Southern Hemisphere, from ∼8000 archival high-resolution echelle spectra taken at Las Campanas…
Sounding stellar cycles with Kepler – II. Ground-based observations
We have monitored 20 Sun-like stars in the Kepler field-of-view for excess flux with the FIES spectrograph on the Nordic Optical Telescope since the launch of Kepler spacecraft in 2009. These 20…
Project VeSElkA: Analysis of Balmer Line Profiles of Slowly Rotating Chemically Peculiar Stars
We present results for the estimation of gravity, effective temperature, and radial velocity of poorly studied chemically peculiar stars recently observed with the spectropolarimeter Echelle…
CHROMOSPHERICALLY ACTIVE STARS IN THE RADIAL VELOCITY EXPERIMENT (RAVE) SURVEY. I. THE CATALOG
RAVE, the unbiased magnitude limited survey of southern sky stars, contained 456,676 medium-resolution spectra at the time of our analysis. Spectra cover the Ca ii infrared triplet (IRT) range, which…
Fundamental parameters and infrared excesses of Hipparcos stars
We derive the fundamental parameters (temperature and luminosity) of 107 619 Hipparcos stars and place these stars on a true Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. This is achieved by comparing bt-settl model…
THE YOUNG SOLAR ANALOGS PROJECT. I. SPECTROSCOPIC AND PHOTOMETRIC METHODS AND MULTI-YEAR TIMESCALE SPECTROSCOPIC RESULTS
This is the first in a series of papers presenting methods and results from the Young Solar Analogs Project, which began in 2007. This project monitors both spectroscopically and photometrically a…
Chromospheric activities and kinematics for solar type dwarfs and subgiants : analysis of the activity distribution and the AVR
Aims. In this work we present chromospheric activity indices, kinematics, radial-velocities, and rotational velocities for more than 850 FGK-type dwarfs and subgiant stars in the southern hemisphere…
