Description
This observing program used the Hamilton Echelle Spectrograph on the three meter Shane telescope at Lick Observatory to obtain high resolution spectroscopic observations of 211 solar analog field stars. Observations were made over 22 nights between February 2013 and January 2014. Our criteria for selecting solar analogs include: (1) effective temperature within ±500 K of solar; (2) -0.3 < [Fe/H] < +0.3; (3) absolute magnitude within ±0.5 of the Hipparcos main sequence (Wright 2004: AJ, 128, 1273). Effective temperatures were taken from the third version of the Geneva-Copenhagen survey (Holmberg et al. (2009: A&A, 501, 941), with temperature, metallicity and isochrone age estimates refined by Casagrande et al. (2011: A&A, A138). An additional selection criterion is that a star have no indication in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database of being part of a double or multiple system, or being a chromospherically active variable such as type RS CVn or BY Dra (note that SIMBAD entries are periodically updated and users should recheck this criterion). Table 1 (in the Readme) lists the program stars. Each ascii text file in this collection contains one spectrum, with the star's Hipparcos catalog identifier (HIP) as the filename. The columns in each file are, left to right: (1) Hamilton Echelle Spectrograph order number (integer); (2) Wavelength (Ångstroms); (3) Flux (machine units); (4) Variance (such that the signal-to-noise ratio and be estimated as the Flux divided by the square root of the Variance).
