Stellar Analysis System: Comprehensive Study of Dwarf and Subgiant Stars
The Stellar Analysis System (SAS) focuses on analyzing approximately 245,000 dwarf and subgiant stars, particularly those later than spectral type F5. The core program encompasses multiple work packages that cover solar-like pulsators, red giants, and stars with planets. It employs advanced techniques for power spectrum fitting, stellar rotation, and activity analysis, while ensuring product quality assurance. This initiative aims to provide insights into stellar properties, including mass, radius, and age, with a strong emphasis on effective data validation and scientific collaboration.

The core programme • Sample 1: 20 000 dwarf and subgiant stars laterthan spectral type F5. (m < 11) • Sample 2: 1000 dwarf and subgiant stars laterthan spectral type F5. (m < 8, long duration) • Sample 3: 3000 dwarf and subgiant stars laterthan spectral type F5. (m < 8, step-and-stare) • Sample 4: 10,000 cool M dwarfs (m <16, 5,000 in long observations; m<15 5000 in step-and-stare) • Sample 5: 245 000 dwarf and subgiant stars laterthan spectral type F5.
