Abundance ratios of volatile vs. refractory elements: hints of pollutions?


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We present the abundance ratios [X/H] of a large set of chemical species with condensation temperatures from 75 to 1600 K in an almost complete set of 105 planet-host stars and in a volume-limited comparison sample of 88 stars without any known planets. The large range of different Tc covered by all the analysed elements allows us to investigate possible anomalous trends of [X/H] vs. Tc in targets with planets with respect to comparison sample stars. This can give important hints for the detection of pollution events and for the understanding of the relative contribution of the differential accretion to the average metallicity excess found in planet host stars.
