The Metallicity of the Pleiades

Abstract

We have measured the abundances of Fe, Si, Ni, Ti, and Na in 20 Pleiads with \teff values near solar and with low \vsini using high-resolution, high signal-to-noise echelle spectra. We have validated our procedures by also analyzing 10 field stars of a range of temperatures and metallicities that were observed by \citet{Vale05}. Our result for the Pleiades is [Fe/H] = $+0.03\pm 0.02\pm 0.05$ (statistical and systematic). The average of published measurements for the Pleiades is $+0.042\pm 0.021$.
