Aims.We used the UVES spectrograph (VLT-UT2 telescope) to obtain
high-resolution spectra of 6 stars hosting transiting planets, namely
for OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113, 132, and TrES-1. These spectra are now
used to derive and discuss the chemical abundances for C, O, Na, Mg, Al,
Si, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn. Methods:
.Abundances were derived in LTE, using 1D plane-parallel Kurucz model
atmospheres. For S, Zn, and Cu, we used a spectral synthesis procedure,
while for the remaining cases the abundances were derived from
measurements of line-equivalent widths. Results: .The resulting
abundances were compared with those found for stars in the solar
neighborhood. Distances and galactic coordinates were estimated for the
stars. We conclude that, besides being particularly metal-rich and with
small possible exceptions, OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113, 132, and TrES-1 are
chemically undistinguishable from the field (thin disk) stars regarding
their [X/Fe] abundances. This is particularly relevant for the most
distant of the targets, located up to ~2 kpc from the Sun. We also did
not find any correlation between the abundances and the condensation
temperature of the elements, evidence that strong accretion of
planetary-like material, tentatively connected to planetary migration,
did not occur.
Based on observations collected at the ESO 8.2-m VLT-UT2 Kueyen
telescope (programs 075.C-0185 and 076.C-0131).
