Description
The Sun has been suggested to have a slightly low refractory-to-volatile
abundance ratio when compared with field solar twins. This result may be
interpreted as due to the fact that the refractory elements were trapped
in rocky planets at the formation of the Solar System.
A detailed and differential chemical abundance study was already
performed in order to investigate this hypothesis in solar analogs with
and without detected planets using high-resolution and high-S/N HARPS
and UVES spectra of a relatively large sample of solar analogs with and
without planets. We obtained very similar behaviours for both samples of
stars with and without planets, even for two stars with super-Earth-like
planets, which may indicate that this solar trend may not be related to
the presence of terrestrial planets.
The depletion signature should be imprinted once the convection zone
reaches the current size. This suggests that stars hotter than the Sun
should show this effect enhanced, due to their narrower convective zone.
However, to avoid non-LTE, 3D, and other effects, we need to identify
``hot'' analogs with a Teff ~ 6100 K, to perform a
differential analysis.
Here, we present the preliminary results of our analysis using HARPS and
UVES high-resolution and high-S/N spectra of a sample of ~ 60
``hot''analogs with and without planets, trying to search for some
``hot'' reference analogs.
