Abstract
The properties of 322 intermediate-mass late-G giants (comprising 10 planet-host stars) selected as the targets
of the Okayama Planet Search Program, many of which are red-clump giants, were comprehensively investigated
by establishing their various stellar parameters (atmospheric parameters, including turbulent velocity fields, metal-
licity, luminosity, mass, age, projected rotational velocity, etc.), and their photospheric chemical abundances for
17 elements, in order to study their mutual dependence, connection with the existence of planets, and possible
evolution-related characteristics. The metallicity distribution of planet-host giants was found to be almost the same
as that of non-planet-host giants, making marked contrast to the case of planet-host dwarfs tending to be metal-rich.
Generally, the metallicities of these comparatively young (typical age of  109 yr) giants tend to be somewhat lower
than those of dwarfs at the same age, and super-metal-rich ([Fe=H] > 0.2) giants appear to be lacking. Apparent
correlations were found between the abundances of C, O, and Na, suggesting that the surface compositions of these
elements have undergone appreciable changes due to dredge-up of H-burning products by evolution-induced deep
envelope mixing, which becomes more efficient for higher mass stars.
Key words: stars: abundances — stars: atmospheres — stars: fundamental parameters — stars: late-type

 The basic stellar data in columns 1–3 are self-explanatory, which were taken from the Hipparcos catalogue. The values of Teff (in K) , log g (in cm s2 ), vt (in
kms1 ), and [Fe=H] given in columns 4–7 are the finally established solutions based on our spectroscopic method using Fe I and Fe II lines. Columns 8–16 gives the
Hipparcos parallax (; in units of mas) along with the fractional error ( =) involved (ESA 1997), the estimated interstellar extinction (AV ), the absolute visual
magnitude (MV ), the bolometric correction (B.C.), the stellar luminosity (log L=Lˇ ), the stellar mass (M=Mˇ ), the stellar age (log age, in yr), and the theoretical
surface gravity (log gT LM , in cm s2 ). See the text (sections 2 and 3) for more details. The planet-host stars are indicated by “PHS” in column 17, where “PHS

dances from these lines corresponding to the final solutions of
the parameters are given for each star in e-table E2 (the results
for HD ?????? are contained in the“??????.abd” file).
The correlations between any two combinations of these four
parameters are depicted in figures 1a–1f. It is worth noting that
different stellar groups appear to be involved; i.e., the major
population is composed of many stars having rather similar
parameters to each other, and the minor population shows more
diversed parameter values. For example, regarding the Teff vs.
log g relation (figure 1a), while Teff tends to be lowered with
a decrease in log g for a majority of (densely clumped) stars,
there are also stars satisfying both low-log g and high-Teff .
Actually, the main characteristics of our sample stars tend to
be determined by the former population (red-clump giants), as
mentioned in subsection 3.2. Another remarkable feature is
the marked log g-dependence of vt (figure 1c), which clearly
indicates the growth of the atmospheric turbulent velocity
field as the surface gravity decreases (an intuitively reasonable
tendency).

these figures suffices to realize that systematic differences are
more or less observed in many cases; this may simply suggest
the difficulty of parameter determinations in the case of giant
stars, which critically depends on the method to be adopted
(e.g., photometric vs. spectroscopic, etc.) as well as on the
data to be used (e.g., which lines to be adopted among those of
different strengths or of atomic parameters). Several remark-

considerable discrepancies, etc.) are summarized below: Fig. 6. Comparison of the stellar parameters determined in this study

6. Abundance and Metallicity Characteristics

Now that we have accomplished our main purpose of


determining the parameters and surface abundances of 322
late-G giants in the preceding sections 2–5, some discussion
based on these results may be appropriate here regarding the
notable features seen in the derived abundances and the metal-
licity, especially in connection with their dependence upon
stellar parameters or with the nature of planet-host stars.
6.1. Abundance Anomalies in C, O, and Na
By comparing figure 11 with Takeda’s (2007) figure 12,
we can confirm that the behavior of [X=Fe] vs. [Fe=H] plots
for these late-G giants are mostly similar to those of F–G–
K dwarfs in the solar neighborhood for many comparatively
heavier species (i.e., Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu),
which suggests that the abundance trends of these elements can
be reasonably understood as being due to the chemical evolu-
tion of the Galaxy.
However, the situation is different for the three lighter
elements (C, O, Na), as can be recognized when figures 11a,
11b, 11c are compared with Takeda and Honda’s (2005)
figures 6a and 6c and Takeda’s (2007) figure 12a, respectively.
Namely, the zero point (the value of [X=Fe] corresponding to
the solar metallicity of [Fe=H] = 0) is appreciably discrepant
from zero ([C=Fe] < 0, [O=Fe] < 0,14 and [Na=Fe] > 0) and
the slope of j[X=Fe]=[Fe=H]j  1 for C and O is appreciably
steeper than the case of dwarf stars ( 0.2 for C and  0.4 for Fig. 12. Correlations between the abundance ratios and their
O; cf. subsection 5.1 in Takeda & Honda 2005). More inter- M -dependences: (a) [O=Fe] vs. [C=Fe], (b) [Na=Fe] vs. [C=Fe],
estingly, we can observe a correlation between C and O and (c) [Na=Fe] vs. [O=Fe], (d) [C=Si] vs. [Si=H], (e) [C=Fe] vs. M ,
an anti-correlation between C and Na (and also between O and (f) [O=Fe] vs. M , (g) [Na=Fe] vs. M , and (h) [C=Si] vs. M . In
panels (a), (c), and (f), the position of [O=Fe] = 0:37 is shown by

It is then natural to consider that the abundances of these

feasible or not in the photosphere of late-G giants (including
red-clump giants), such as seen in old globular cluster stars

the metallicity upper-limit of giants ( +0:2dex) is lower than
that for dwarfs ( +0:4 dex), which results in the “lack of
super–metal-rich giants”, as already remarked at the beginning
of this subsection. If this trend is real, it might serve as a clue
to investigate the past history of galactic chemical evolution
(e.g., a special event such as a substantial infall of metal-poor
primordial gas might have happened  109 years ago). It would
thus be desirable/necessary to check on late B through F main-
sequence stars (i.e., progenitors of giants) whether the same
tendency as seen in these G-giants is observed.
