A Search for Planets with SALT

Abstract

As the SALT High Resolution Spectrograph completion is nearing we plan to extend the Pennsylvania-Torun Planets Search (PTPS) with HET to the southern hemisphere. Due to overlap of the skies available for both HET and SALT in the declination range (+10, -10) deg some cooperation and immediate follow up is possible. Here we present, as an example, a $\sim$ 1000 star sample of evolved stars for the future SALT Planet Search.
