abstract = "Context. We studied a sample of high proper motion, old and
metal-rich dwarf stars, selected from the NLTT catalogue. The low
pericentric distances and eccentric orbits of these solar
neighbourhood stars indicate that they might have originated in
the inner parts of the Galaxy. Methods. The spectroscopic analysis
is based on optical high-resolution {\'e}chelle spectra obtained
with the FEROS spectrograph at the ESO 1.52 m Telescope at La
Silla, Chile. The abundances of Y, Ba, La, and Eu were derived
through LTE analysis, employing the MARCS model atmospheres.
Results. The abundances of Y, Ba, La, and Eu vs. Fe and Mg as the
reference elements indicate similarities between our sample of old
metal-rich dwarf stars and the thin disk. On the other hand, the
abundance ratios using O as the reference element, as well as
their kinematics, suggest that our sample is clearly distinct from
the thin-disk stars. They could be old inner thin-disk stars, as
suggested previously, or bulge stars. In either cases, they would
have migrated from the inner parts of the Galaxy to the solar
neighbourhood. Aims. Chemical tagging can probe the formation
history of stellar populations. To identify the origin of a sample
of 71 very metal-rich dwarf stars, we derive the abundances of the
neutron-capture elements Y, Ba, La, and Eu.",
