Some stars with similar properties to our sun (solar twins) have differ- ent chemical composition than the rest of the solar twins. One explanation might be planet engulfment. Therefore we did a large number of simu- lations where a disturbing star passed a sun and a planet at a distance closer than 100 AU to see how often the planet was engulfed. The result was that the planet in most cases was thrown out of the system, but it was engulfed in about 10 − 30% of the simulations when the planet was close to its star. The conclusion was that planet engulfment indeed can be a good explanation for the different chemical compositions of solar twins, at least in dense stellar clusters where such close passages should be quite common. / Vissa solliknande stja ̈rnor (s ̊a kallade soltvillingar) har en annorlunda kemisk sammansa ̈ttning ja ̈mfo ̈rt med resten av soltvillingarna. En mo ̈jlig fo ̈rklaring kan vara att dessa stja ̈rnor har slukat planeter. Da ̈rf ̈or gjorde vi ett stort antal simuleringar d ̈ar en sto ̈rande stja ̈rna passerade ett sys- tem best ̊aende av solen och en planet. Stj ̈arnan passerade p ̊a ett avst ̊and under 100 AU och vi observerade hur ofta planeten slukades. Resultatet var att planeten oftast slungades ut i rymden, men den slukades i 10-30% av simuleringarna da ̈r planeten kretsade na ̈ra sin stja ̈rna. Slutsatsen vara att planetslukning kan vara en rimlig f ̈orklaring till de annorlunda kemiska sammansa ̈ttningarna hos soltvillingar, ̊atminstone i ta ̈ta stja ̈rnhopar da ̈r na ̈ra stja ̈rnpassager bo ̈r vara ganska vanliga.
