With the goal of confirming the metallicity "excess" present in stars with planetary-mass companions, we present in this paper a high-precision spectroscopic study of a sample of dwarfs included in the CORALIE extrasolar planet survey. The targets were chosen according to the basic criteria that 1) they formed part of a limited volume and 2) they did not present the signature of a planetary host companion. A few stars with planets were also observed and analysed; namely, HD 6434, HD 13445, HD 16141, HD 17051, HD 19994, HD 22049, HD 28185, HD 38529, HD 52265, HD 190228, HD 210277 and HD 217107. For some of these objects there had been no previous spectroscopic studies. The spectroscopic analysis was done using the same technique as in previous work on the metallicity of stars with planets, thereby permitting a direct comparison of the results. The work described in this paper thus represents the first uniform and unbiased comparison between stars with and without planetary-mass companions in a volume-limited sample. The results show that 1) stars with planets are significantly metal-rich, and 2) that the source of the metallicity is most probably "primordial". The results presented here may impose serious constraints on planetary system formation and evolution models.

  1. The 35-Myr old infant planet TOI-837 b has a mildly misaligned orbit

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    TOI-837 b has a true obliquity of 25.9+7.5-6.3 deg, the first planet younger than 100 Myr with accessible ψ incompatible with an aligned orbit, favoring primordial disc torque followed by disc-driven migration.

  2. The GAPS programme at TNG: LXXVI. TOI-1533: a compact system hosting a super-Neptune-mass pair with disparate radii

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    TOI-1533 is confirmed as a rare compact system hosting an inner sub-Neptune and an outer hot super-Neptune-mass giant with nearly equal masses and very different radii.

  3. On the formation of super-Jupiters: Core Accretion or Gravitational Instability?

    astro-ph.EP 2024-12 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using stellar abundances of C, O, Mg, Si, and Fe, the authors find that super-Jupiter hosts have at least as much disk metal content as Jupiter hosts, but the difference is not robust to propagated uncertainties.

  4. Is the composition of the Solar atmosphere unusual, and if so, why? Possible interpretations

    astro-ph.SR 2025-09 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review of the 10-20% solar volatile-to-refractory excess relative to solar twins, weighing galactic, protoplanetary, and planetary-ingestion explanations and finding no decisive answer.
