Accepted 2017 August 8. Received 2017 August 7; in original form 2017 February 2 ABSTRACT Large exoplanet surveys have successfully detected thousands of exoplanets to-date. Utilizing these detections and non-detections to constrain our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems also requires a detailed understanding of the basic properties of their host stars. We have determined the basic stellar properties arXiv:1708.02541v1 [astro-ph.SR] 8 Aug 2017 of F, K, and G stars in the Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with Sub- aru (SEEDS) survey from echelle spectra taken at the Apache Point Observatory’s 3.5m telescope. Using ROBOSPECT to extract line equivalent widths and TGVIT to calculate the fundamental parameters, we have computed Teff , log g , vt , Fe H , chromospheric activity, and the age for our sample. Our methodology( was) calibrated[ / ] against previously published results for a portion of our sample. The distribution of Fe H in our sample is consistent with that typical of the Solar neighborhood. Ad- ditionally,[ / ] we find the ages of most of our sample are < 500Myrs, but note that we cannot determine robust ages from significantly older stars via chromospheric activity age indicators. The future meta-analysis of the frequency of wide stellar and sub- stellar companions imaged via the SEEDS survey will utilize our results to constrain the occurrence of detected co-moving companions with the properties of their host stars.
