Abstract
We have derived elemental abundances of O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni for 47 G and K dwarf, with [Me/H]>0.1 dex. The selection of stars was based on their kinematics as well as on their uvby-photometry. One sample of stars on rather eccentric orbits traces the chemical evolution interior to the solar orbit and another, on circular orbits, the evolution around the solar orbit. A few Extreme Pop I stars were included in the latter sample. The stars have -0.10.1 dex. SMR stars on highly eccentric orbits, alleged to trace the evolution of the chemical evolution in the galactic Bulge, have previously been found overabundant in O, Mg and Si. We have included 3 such stars from the study by Barbuy & Grenon (1990). We find them to be less metal rich and the other elemental abundances remain puzzling. Our study includes 5 K dwarf stars and reveal a striking example of overionization.
