Some studies suggested that the chemical abundance trend with the condensation temperature, T c, is a signature of rocky planet formation. Very recently, a strong T c trend was reported in ζ2 Ret relative to its companion (ζ1 Ret) and was explained by the presence of a debris disk around ζ2 Ret. We re-evaluated the presence and variability of the T c trend in this system with a goal to understand the impact of the presence of the debris disk on a star. Our results confirm the reported abundance difference between ζ2 Ret and ζ1 Ret and its dependence on the T c. However, we also found that the T c trends depend on the individual spectrum used. We conclude that for the ζ Reticuli system, for example, nonphysical factors can be at the root of the T c trends for the case of individual spectra. For more details see Adibekyan et al. (2016b).
