Description
We present the elemental abundances of a large sample of F and G dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. The analysis is based on high-resolution spectra obtained with MIKE on the Magellan telescope, FEROS on the ESO 1.5m and 2.2m telescopes, HARPS on the ESO 3.6m telescope, UVES on the ESO Very Large Telescope, SOFIN and FIES on the Nordic Optical Telescope. We focused our study on odd-Z iron-peak elements Sc, V, Mn and Co. Our results show that Sc, V, and Co present similar trend as the alpha elements and in Co case, this is true also when non-local thermodynamic equilibrium corrections (non-LTE, NLTE) are applied. On the contrary Mn is generally underabundant relative the Sun but when NLTE corrections are applied the trend is basically flat with [Mn/Fe]=0. Considering the age as selection criterion for thin and thick disk we did not find any difference for V, Co, and Mn LTE while for Sc and Mn NLTE a small difference seem to be present. Comparisons with the alpha-element Ti show flat trends for all the elements except Mn that present well separated [Mn/Ti]-[Ti/H] for thin and thick disk.
