The relations between the characteristics of these planetary systems and the kinematics, Galactic compo- nents, and ages of their host stars have yet to be well explored. Aiming to addressing these questions, we conduct a research project, dubbed as PAST (Planets Across Space and Time). To do this, one of the key steps is to accurately characterize the planet host stars.
