To calibrate automatic pipelines that determine atmospheric parameters of stars, one needs a sample of stars -- ``benchmark stars'' -- with well defined parameters to be used as a reference We provide a detailed documentation of the determination of the iron abundance of the 34 FGK-type benchmark stars selected to be the pillars for calibration of the one billion Gaia stars. They cover a wide range of temperatures, surface gravities and metallicities. Up to seven different methods were used to analyze an observed spectral library of high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. The metallicity was determined assuming a value of effective temperature and surface gravity obtained from fundamental relations, i.e. these parameters were known a priori independently from the spectra. We present a set of metallicity values obtained in a homogeneous way for our sample of Benchmark Stars. In addition to this value, we provide a detailed documentation of the associated uncertainties. Finally, we report for the first time a value of the metallicity of the cool giant psi Phe.

  1. Observational Signatures and Constraints on the Intermediate Neutron-Capture Process. The Case of the CEMP star TYC 6044-714-1 (RAVE J094921.8-161722)

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 are best reproduced by s+r nucleosynthesis models; i+s+r models require extreme conditions and fail to match the full pattern.

  2. Chemical Abundances of the Bioessential Elements C, O and S, and the Refractory Elements Fe and Ni, in Solar-type Exoplanet-hosting Stars from HARPS North and South

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Observational study of 290 exoplanet-host stars finds higher C, O, S, Fe, Ni abundances in giant-planet hosts than small-planet hosts, with C/O ratios, hot/warm differences, and mass correlations that vary by subpopulation.

  3. On the stellar parameter dependence of the combined Fe I and Fe II chromospheric emission-line in the wings of the Ca II K line

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Observational analysis of 21 giant stars shows Fe I+Fe II blend emission proportional to Ca II K with matching Teff power-law exponent and a slope break in the flux ratio at log g ≈ 2.5.

  4. Empirical colour--effective temperature relations in the SDSS system from IRFM temperatures of GALAH and APOGEE stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    New empirical color-Teff calibrations in the SDSS system from IRFM temperatures of 3902 GALAH and 2535 APOGEE stars, with 30-50 K precision for long-baseline colors.

  5. gr8stars II : judgement day for spectroscopic parameter model systematics

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Multi-method spectroscopic analysis of 585 FGK dwarfs shows parameter scatters larger than internal errors, inducing sub-5% fractional uncertainties on derived exoplanet radius and mass.

  6. Observational Signatures and Constraints on the Intermediate Neutron-Capture Process. The Case of the CEMP star TYC 6044-714-1 (RAVE J094921.8-161722)

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    High-precision analysis of TYC 6044-714-1 favors s+r nucleosynthesis over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch Ba isotopes.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    High-precision abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 favor an s+r nucleosynthesis scenario over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch isotopic data.
