The production of K⁺, K^- and φ(1020) mesons are studied in Al+Al collisions at beam energy of 1.9A GeV which is close or below the production threshold in NN reactions. Inverse slopes, anisotropy parameters, and total emission yields of K^± mesons are obtained. A comparison of the ratio of kinetic energy distributions of K^- and K⁺ mesons to transport model calculations (IQMD and HSD) suggests that the inclusion of in-medium modifications of kaon properties is necessary to reproduce the ratio. The inverse slope and total yield of φ mesons are deduced. The contribution to K^- production from φ meson decays is found to be 17 ± 3%. The results are in line with previous K^± and φ data obtained for different colliding systems at similar incident beam energies.
