The majority of stars observed are part of the Spitzer Legacy Science Program "The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems." Through detailed analysis we determine stellar properties for this sample, including radial and rotational velocities, LiIλ6708 and Hα equivalent widths, the chromospheric activity index R'HK, and temperature- and gravity-sensitive line ratios. Several spectroscopic binaries are also identified. From our tabulations, we illustrate basic age- and rotation-related correlations among measured indices. One novel result is that CaII chromospheric emission appears to saturate at vsini values above ∼30km/s, similar to the well-established saturation of X-rays that originate in the spatially separate coronal region. Description: Spectroscopic observations were obtained on nine observing runs between 2001 July and 2003 June with the Palomar 60inch (1.5m) telescope and facility spectrograph in its echelle mode.

Note (2): the flag qualifies a problem as follows: 0 = upper limit (<); 1 = no limit; 8 = Spectrum was corrupted; : = vsini value thought to be biased (see Section 4.2). Note (3): -9999 indicates no measurable value. Note (5): -9.99 indicates that no (B-V) color is available. Note (6): Reference as follows: Tycho = Tycho catalog (Cat. I/259); Tycho: = Tycho catalog, with a large B-V error (>0.1mag); SpT = B-V estimated from stellar spectral type; x = no (B-V) color available. Note (7): Values of "9999" and "99" in RHK and e_RHK indicate no measurable RHK or error. Note (8): Quality as follows: e = has an uncertain S value. c = (B-V) colors are outside the range over which R'HK values are calibrated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: table2.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 6 I6 --- HD ?
