Description
Spectroscopic studies of stars with and without planetary systems have
concluded that planet hosts are more metal-rich. This enrichment is also
seen in the other chemical elements studied and is likely to be
primordial in nature. Interesting trends of different chemical elements
begin to appear as the number of extrasolar planets continues to grow. I
present our current knowledge concerning the observed abundance trends
of chemical elements in planet hosts and their possible implications. In
most cases the abundance trends of planet host stars are identical to
those of the comparison sample. However, some exceptions (such as Li)
have been reported too. No clear correlation was found between orbital
parameters of planets and host star metallicity.
