Description
Aims: We present a new upgraded version of ARES. The new version
includes a series of interesting new features such as automatic radial
velocity correction, a fully automatic continuum determination, and an
estimation of the errors for the equivalent widths. Methods: The
automatic correction of the radial velocity is achieved with a simple
cross-correlation function, and the automatic continuum determination,
as well as the estimation of the errors, relies on a new approach to
evaluating the spectral noise at the continuum level. Results:
ARES v2 is totally compatible with its predecessor. We show that the
fully automatic continuum determination is consistent with the previous
methods applied for this task. It also presents a significant
improvement on its performance thanks to the implementation of a
parallel computation using the OpenMP library.

Several spectroscopic analyses of stars with planets have recently been carried out. One of the most remarkable results is that planet-harbouring stars are on average more metal-rich than solar-type disc stars. Two main explanations have been suggested to link this metallicity excess with the presence of planets. The first of these, the “self
