Abstract

As the SALT High Resolution Spectrograph is nearing completion, 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 ~1000 star sample of evolved stars for the future SALT Planet Search.
