Description
We present the [X/H] trends as a function of the elemental condensation
temperature Tc in 88 planet-host stars and in a volume-limited
comparison sample of 33 dwarfs without detected planetary companions. We
gathered homogeneous abundance results for many volatile and refractory
elements spanning a wide range of Tc, from a few dozen to
several hundred kelvin. We investigate possible anomalous trends of
planet hosts with respect to comparison sample stars to detect evidence
of possible pollution events. No significant differences are found in
the behaviour of stars with and without planets. This is consistent with
a "primordial" origin of the metal excess in planet-host stars. However,
a subgroup of 5 planet-host and 1 comparison sample stars stands out as
having particularly high [X/H] vs. Tc slopes.
