Description
We present the abundance ratios [X/H] of a large set of chemical species with T_C from 75 to 1600 K in an almost complete set of 105 planet-host stars and in a volume-limited comparison sample of 88 stars without any known planets. The large range of different T_C covered by all the analyzed elements allows us to investigate possible anomalous trends of [X/H] vs. T_C in targets with planets with respect to comparison sample stars. This can give important hints for the detection of pollution events and for the understanding of the relative contribution of the differential accretion to the average metallicity excess found in planet host stars.
