  A large dataset of ~2800 spectra extracted from the ELODIE archive was
analysed in order to find solar twins. A list of stellar spectra closely
resembling the spectrum of the Sun was selected by applying a purely
differential method, directly on the fluxes. As solar reference, 18 spectra of
asteroids, Moon and blue sky were used. Atmospheric parameters and differential
abundances of 8 chemical elements were determined for the solar twin
candidates, after a careful selection of appropriate lines. The Li feature of
the targets was investigated and additional information on absolute magnitude
and age was gathered from the literature. HIP076114 (HD138573) is our best twin
candidate, looking exactly like the Sun in all these properties.
