## TL;DR

This study uses high-precision chemical analysis with non-solar-scaled opacities to investigate the HD 106515 binary system, finding no evidence of refractory element depletion and refining stellar and planetary parameters, contributing to understanding planet formation signatures.

## Contribution

First application of non-solar-scaled opacities in binary system analysis, providing more accurate stellar parameters and chemical signatures related to planet formation.

## Key findings

- Stars do not show refractory element depletion, unlike the Sun.
- Refined stellar mass, radius, and age with significant differences from previous estimates.
- Confirmed the planetary mass as approximately 9.08 MJup, with improved precision.

## Abstract

We explore the probable chemical signature of planet formation in the remarkable binary system HD 106515. The A star hosts a massive long-period planet with 9 MJup detected by radial velocity. We also refine stellar and planetary parameters by using non-solar-scaled opacities when modeling the stars. Methods. We carried out a simultaneous determination of stellar parameters and abundances, by applying for the first time non-solar-scaled opacities in this binary system, in order to reach the highest possible precision. Results. The stars A and B in the binary system HD 106515 do not seem to be depleted in refractory elements, which is different when comparing the Sun with solar-twins. Then, the terrestrial planet formation would have been less efficient in the stars of this binary system. Together with HD 80606/7, this is the second binary system which does not seem to present a (terrestrial) signature of planet formation, and hosting both systems an eccentric giant planet. This is in agreement with numerical simulations, where the early dynamical evolution of eccentric giant planets clear out most of the possible terrestrial planets in the inner zone. We refined the stellar mass, radius and age for both stars and found a notable difference of 78% in R compared to previous works. We also refined the planet mass to mp sini = 9.08 +/- 0.20 MJup, which differs by 6% compared with literature. In addition, we showed that the non-solar-scaled solution is not compatible with the classical solar-scaled method, and some abundance differences are comparable to NLTE or GCE effects specially when using the Sun as reference. Then, we encourage the use of non-solar-scaled opacities in high-precision studies such as the detection of Tc trends.[abridged]
