Scientific paper

We present an overview and early results on a continuing large-scale project to analyze spectra of solar-types stars in the solar neighborhood out to 60 pc. Physical parameters and initial metallicity estimates for 4043 stars have been derived. We have developed computer programs to help automate the process from synthetic spectrum generation to metallicity determination. Initial metallicity estimates for 3613 stars have been calculated based on low resolution spectra. Results from this project will be useful in answering questions about chemical homogeneity in the solar neighborhood, developing age metallicity relationships, and in identifying candidate stars for future planet-hunting projects.
