Abstract

A spectroscopic survey of nearly 700 stars probing the Galactic Thick Disc far from theSolar neighbourhood is performed. The MATISSE (MATrix Inversion for Spectral SynthEsis)algorithm is developed and trained in order to automatically obtain atmospheric parametersof stars. The derived effective temperatures, surface gravities and overall metallicitiesare then combined to stellar evolution isochrones, radial velocities and proper motions toderive the distances, kinematics and orbital parameters of the sample stars. Results arecompared with simulations from the Besançon model of the Milky Way.
