Correcting for the spectroscopic logg will not make it more precise, but itwill make it more accurate!

Conclusions

Precise, homogeneous, and accurate stellar parameters are crucial

Our long-standing spectroscopic method to analyse FGK stars

provides precise, accurate, and homogeneous results

Surface gravity is not well constrained by spectroscopy but by usingthe ARES+MOOG method combined with SO08+TS13 line list

set, there is only a marginal effect on the other atmosphericparameters

Planetary mass and radius differ only by 1.3 − 2%1.3 − 2%1.3 − 2% and 1 − 1.5%1 − 1.5%1 − 1.5%

Temperatures, metallicities, and microturbulences developed byour method+linelist have been proven to be consistent with variousmethods

Our spectroscopic surface gravity can be easily corrected with a

linear formula
