We addressed strictly line-by-line differential abundance analysis using high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio spectra on field stars (e.g., stellar binaries, terrestrial planet hosts etc.) and open cluster stars (e.g., the Hyades stars) in order to seek for and test the possible chemical signatures of planet formation. ...

... CONTACT . ...
