Description
In the era of space missions such as Kepler and K2 which can provide extremely high duty-cycle, high-precision time-series photometric observations for a large number of stars in multiple stellar populations, ground-based spectroscopic observations are needed to characterize hundreds of thousands of stars in a homogeneous way, to support the research of exoplanets, asteroseismology, Galactic archaeology, etc.
In 2010, we initiated the LAMOST-Kepler project which aimed at collecting low-resolution spectra for as many objects from the KIC10 catalogue as possible with LAMOST. Since the end of 2015, a number of K2 fields have been observed with LAMOST. In the presentation, I shall introduce the updated progress of the observations of the two projects, summarize the existing scientific work based on the data provided by this project, and discuss the prospects of using LAMOST for the stars in the fields of future missions such as TESS and PLATO.
