Abstract:
We present a uniform study of the chemical abundances of 12 elements
(Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Na, Mg, and Al) derived from the
spectra of 451 stars observed as part of one of the HARPS GTO planet
search programs. Sixty eight of these are planet-bearing stars. The
main goals of our work are: i) the investigation of possible
differences between the abundances of stars with and without planets;
ii) the study of the possible differences in the abundances of stars
in the thin and the thick disc.
We confirm that there is a systematically higher metallicity in planet
host stars, when compared to non planet-hosts, common to all studied
species. We also found that there is no difference in the galactic
chemical evolution trends of the stars with and without planets. Stars
that harbour planetary companions simply appear to be in the high
metallicity tail of the distribution. We also confirm that Neptunian
and super-Earth class planets may be easier to find at lower
metallicities. A statistically significative abundance difference
between stars of the thin and the thick disc was found for [Fe/H]<0.
However, the populations from the thick and the thin disc cannot be
clearly separated.
Description:
The file table1.dat lists the parameters used to assign the Galactic
population to which each star belongs. Columns 2, 3, and 4 list the
U,V and W velocities relative to the local standard of rest (LSR).
Columns 5, 6, and 7 list the Gaussian distributions of each
population: thin disc, thick disc, and halo, respectively. In Cols. 8
and 9, we provide the relative probabilities of the thick disc
relative to the thin disc and of the thick disc relative to the halo.
The last column depicts the probable population where each star
belongs.
The file table3.dat lists the derived abundances of the elements, rms,
and number of measured lines for each star.

Note (1): The Galactic space velocities were calculated using the procedure
from Johnson & Soderblom (1987AJ.....93..864J 1987AJ.....93..864J) and corrected for the
solar motion relative to the Local Standard of Rest (LSR) using
(U',V',W')=(+10.00,+5.25,+7.17)km/s from Dehnen & Binney
(1998MNRAS.298..387D 1998MNRAS.298..387D).
Note (2): The selection of the different populations was completed using
the method proposed by Bensby (2003, Cat. J/A+A/410/527, 2005, Cat.
J/A+A/433/185).
