| contents | Our goal is to find new candidate lambda Boo stars that belong to binary systems. A detailed abundance determination of some candidates could confirm their true lambda Boo nature, while the composition of eventual late-type companions could be used as a proxy for the initial composition of the lambda Boo stars. Results. We obtained a group of 19 newly identified binary systems which contain a candidate lambda Boo star, allowing to duplicate the number of lambda Boo stars currently known in multiple systems. This important group could be used in further studies of lambda Boo stars. For the first time, we performed a detailed abundance analysis of three of these binary systems which includes a candidate lambda Boo star and a late-type companion. We confirmed the true lambda Boo nature of the three early-type stars (HD 87304, HD 98069 and HD 153747), and obtained mostly a solar-like composition for their late-type components. Adopting as a proxy the late-type stars, we showed that the three lambda Boo stars were initially born with a solar-like composition. This is an important constraint for any scenario trying to explain the origin of lambda Boo stars. Also, the solar-like composition of the late-type stars supports the idea that lambda Boo stars are Population I objects, however, we caution that other explanations are also possible. Conclusions. We performed, for the first time, a detailed abundance analysis of binary systems including a lambda Boo star and a late-type companion. We obtained a solid indication that lambda Boo stars born from a solar-like composition and established an important constraint to test formation models of lambda Boo stars.[abridged] |
