The AMBRE Project: Stellar Parameterisation of the ESO:UVES archived
  spectra
  The AMBRE Project is a collaboration between the European Southern
Observatory (ESO) and the Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur (OCA) that has been
established in order to carry out the determination of stellar atmospheric
parameters for the archived spectra of four ESO spectrographs.
  The analysis of the UVES archived spectra for their stellar parameters has
been completed in the third phase of the AMBRE Project. From the complete
ESO:UVES archive dataset that was received covering the period 2000 to 2010,
51921 spectra for the six standard setups were analysed. The AMBRE analysis
pipeline uses the stellar parameterisation algorithm MATISSE to obtain the
stellar atmospheric parameters. The synthetic grid is currently constrained to
FGKM stars only.
  Stellar atmospheric parameters are reported for 12,403 of the 51,921 UVES
archived spectra analysed in AMBRE:UVES. This equates to ~23.9% of the sample
and ~3,708 stars. Effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity and alpha
element to iron ratio abundances are provided for 10,212 spectra (~19.7%),
while at least effective temperature is provided for the remaining 2,191
spectra. Radial velocities are reported for 36,881 (~71.0%) of the analysed
archive spectra. Typical external errors of sigmaTeff~110dex,
sigmalogg~0.18dex, sigma[M/H]~0.13dex, and sigma[alpha/Fe]~0.05dex with some
reported variation between giants and dwarfs and between setups are reported.
  UVES is used to observe an extensive collection of stellar and non-stellar
objects all of which have been included in the archived dataset provided to OCA
by ESO. The AMBRE analysis extracts those objects which lie within the FGKM
parameter space of the AMBRE slow rotating synthetic spectra grid. Thus by
homogeneous blind analysis AMBRE has successfully extracted and parameterised
the targeted FGK stars (23.9% of the analysed sample) from within the ESO:UVES
archive.
