Context. The discovery of true solar analogs is fundamental to a better understanding of the Sun and of the solar system. Despite a number of efforts, this search has brought only limited results for field stars. The open cluster M 67 offers a unique opportunity to search for solar analogs, because its chemical composition and age are very similar to those of the Sun.
