Query: Structure and Evolution of Nearby Stars with Planets II. Physical
  Properties of ~1000 Cool Stars from the SPOCS Catalog   We derive detailed theoretical models for 1074 nearby stars from the SPOCS
(Spectroscopic Properties of Cool Stars) Catalog. The California and Carnegie
Planet Search has obtained high-quality echelle spectra of over 1000 nearby
stars taken with the Hamilton spectrograph at Lick Observatory, the HIRES
spectrograph at Keck, and UCLES at the Anglo Australian Observatory. A uniform
analysis of the high-resolution spectra has yielded precise stellar parameters,
enabling systematic error analyses and accurate theoretical stellar modeling.
We have created a large database of theoretical stellar evolution tracks using
the Yale Stellar Evolution Code (YREC) to match the observed parameters of the
SPOCS stars. Our very dense grids of evolutionary tracks eliminate the need for
interpolation between stellar evolutionary tracks and allow precise
determinations of physical stellar parameters (mass, age, radius, size and mass
of the convective zone, etc.). Combining our stellar models with the observed
stellar atmospheric parameters and uncertainties, we compute the likelihood for
each set of stellar model parameters separated by uniform time steps along the
stellar evolutionary tracks. The computed likelihoods are used for a Bayesian
analysis to derive posterior probability distribution functions for the
physical stellar parameters of interest. We provide a catalog of physical
parameters for 1074 stars that are based on a uniform set of high quality
spectral observations, a uniform spectral reduction procedure, and a uniform
set of stellar evolutionary models. We explore this catalog for various
possible correlations between stellar and planetary properties, which may help
constrain the formation and dynamical histories of other planetary systems.
