Chemical abundances for 18 elements in 31 stars Copyright 2007 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2007 RAS KEYWORDS Stars: abundances • planetary systems ABSTRACTWe present the results of detailed spectroscopic abundance analyses for 18 elements in 31 nearby stars with planets (SWPs). The resulting abundances are combined with other similar studies of nearby SWPs and compared to a sample of nearby stars without detected planets. We find some evidence for abundance differences between these two samples for Al, Si and Ti. Some of our results are in conflict with a recent study of SWPs in the SPOCS data base. We encourage continued study of the abundance patterns of SWPs to resolve these discrepancies. Accepted 2007 April 11. Received 2007 March 4; in original form 2006 October 2 |
