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.
