Summary
Several topics of interest involved with precise determination of surface abundances and stellar parameters in the metal-rich regime are reviewed. The main emphasis is placed upon Solar-type F–G dwarfs, though K giants are also mentioned briefly. In particular, in connection with the problem of the validity of the hypothesis of LTE, recent spectroscopic studies of Hyades-cluster stars are discussed together with our own results. Some further discussion concerns age determination using evolutionary tracks, in connection with the existence of old metal-rich stars and the high metallicity of planet-host stars.
