Deriving spectroscopic stellar parameters for FGK stars

Maria Tsantaki

Resumo
Precise stellar parameters are important in understanding the formation and evolution not only for stars but for their planets as well. I will talk about the method of deriving stellar parameters for solar-type stars by measuring the iron lines. I will also present some results of the HARPS survey from Sousa 2008 & 2011 and their impact on planet surveys.
