Description
We present the chemical analysis of a new set of stars known to harbor
low mass companions, namely HD 1237, HD
52265, HD 82943, HD
83443, HD 169830, and HD
202206. In addition, we have also analyzed HD
13445 and HD 75289, already studied
elsewhere. The abundances of C and alpha -elements O, S, Si, Ca and Ti
are presented and discussed in the context of the metallicity
distribution of the stars with extra-solar planets. We compare the
metallicity distribution of stars with planets with the same
distribution of field dwarfs. The results further confirm that stars
with planets are over-abundant in [Fe/H]. Based on observations
collected at the La Silla Observatory, ESO (Chile), with the echelle
spectrograph CORALIE at the 1.2-m Euler Swiss telescope.
