Left panel: a comparison of the absolute C/O ratio of WD 0806 b (red star) to the nearby (<40 pc) solar neighborhood population from the Hypatia catalog (N. R. Hinkel et al. 2014) shows that the elevated C/O ratio is consistent with nearby stellar chemical abundances within 2σ. Right panel: the same as the left panel, but for the C/S ratio. The C/S ratio of WD 0806 b is within 1σ to the nearby stellar chemical abundances.
