Notes.

(*)

K-S test to evaluate the significance of the behaviour of the abundances [Xα/H] and [XFe/H] of BD hosts and stars with discarded BDs (see Sect. 6), in comparison with stars with small planets (SP), stars with giant planets (GP), and stars without detected planets (NP). The K-S statistics, with values between 0 and 1, give small values to the significance if the cumulative distribution of the BD sample is significantly different from the SP, GP, or NP samples.
