Abstract
The search for solar siblings has been particularly fruitful in the past few years. At present, there are four plausible candidates reported in the literature: HIP21158, HIP87382, HIP47399, and HIP92831. In this study we conduct a search for solar siblings among the HARPS high-resolution FGK dwarfs sample, which includes precise chemical abundances and kinematics for 1111 stars. Using a new approach based on chemical abundance trends with condensation temperature, kinematics, and ages we found one (additional) potential solar sibling candidate: HIP97507.

Keywords
stars: abundances - stars: kinematics and dynamics - solar neighborhood

Notes
Based on observations collected at the La Silla Paranal Observatory, ESO (Chile) with the HARPS spectrograph at the 3.6-m telescope (ESO runs ID 72.C-0488, 082.C-0212, and 085.C-0063).
