Abstract

This postdoctoral project aims to explore the differential analysis technique in order to determine stellar parameters and chemical abundances in solar-type stars. Using precise abundances (0.01 dex) we will investigate the connection between chemical anomalies and planet formation and we will study various stellar nucleosynthesis processes at unprecedented detail.
