Abstract

The goal of the AMBRE Project, in a collaboration between the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur and ESO, is to provide homogeneously determined stellar parameters for the archived spectra of four of ESO’s key spectrographs.

Presented here are the stellar parameters for the UVES archived spectra of six standard setups: Red860; Red580; Red564; Blue437; Blue390; and Blue346. We will explore the characteristics of each stellar dataset revealing the range of stars that have been observed and how they can be combined as a coherent set. The combination of the six archive sets has resulted in yet another extensive stellar sample with homogeneously defined stellar parameters. This spectral library has the potential to greatly further the use of the ESO archived spectra in a range of stellar population studies.
