Radial velocity measurements of a sample of K-giants with the Hobby-Eberly telescope

Abstract

We present motivation and initial results of a large RV survey of K giants aimed at a detection of low-mass companions. The survey, performed with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope, utilizes high resolution (60,000) spectra for high precision radial velocity measurements. The primary goal of the survey is the selection of astrometrically stable reference stars for the Extrasolar Planet Interferometric Survey key project to be carried out with the Space Interferometry Mission.

Gelino for making available his list of SIM/EPIcS candidate reference stars. The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) is a joint project of the University of Texas at Austin, the Pennsylvania State University, Stanford University, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. The HET is named in honor of its principal benefactors, William P. Hobby and Robert E. Eberly.
