Abstract

Uniformly derived stellar parameters are vital for exoplanet demographic studies because they directly influence the inferred planetary masses, radii, and bulk densities. This study presents a new homogeneous catalog of physical stellar parameters for 5533 single stars observed by the HARPS, HIRES, and CARMENES radial-velocity (RV) surveys. Stellar parameters are determined using a Bayesian framework with two independent sets of stellar evolutionary models: MIST and PARSEC, using published spectroscopic parameter estimates and catalog values as priors. The resulting stellar effective temperatures, masses, radii, and surface gravities are compared and evaluated for consistency with stellar parameters listed in major exoplanet catalogs. While our estimates show consistency with those listed in external catalogs, we identify method-dependent differences in stellar masses for low-mass and pre-main-sequence stars, as well as G and K giants, where isochrone-based solutions may be affected by age–mass degeneracies. For low-mass stars such as M-dwarfs, the catalog provides masses derived from established mass–luminosity empirical relations, which tend to be more reliable. This catalog provides the largest uniformly derived stellar reference sample for Doppler survey targets and also illustrates the applicability and limitations of stellar-parameter homogenisation methods for future RV exoplanet demographics studies.
