The Metallicity Distribution and Hot Jupiter Rate of the Kepler Field: Hectochelle High-Resolution Spectroscopy for 776 Kepler Target Stars

The occurrence rate of hot Jupiters from the Kepler transit survey is roughly half that of radial velocity surveys targeting solar neighborhood stars. One hypothesis to explain this difference is that the two surveys target stars with different stellar metallicity distributions. To test this hypothe...
