Lithium depletion in solar-like stars: no planet connection

open access: yes, 2010
We have determined precise stellar parameters and lithium abundances in a sample of 117 stars with basic properties very similar to the Sun. This sample selection reduces biasing effects and systematic errors in the analysis.

DEPLETION OF TiO AND SPECTRA OF THE COOLEST BROWN DWARFS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
This study was performed in the context of the ”lithium test” for brown dwarfs proposed by Rebolo et al. (1992). We consider the formation of lithium dust species in atmospheres of the coolest stars and substellar objects.

Some features of roAp stars spectrum

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
We have shown the possibility for modelling Li blend6708 A, for two roAp stars, HD83368 and HD60435, taking into account lithium spots on the surfaces of these rotating stars. REE spots were also included in calculations.

Models for the lithium abundances of multiple populations in globular clusters and the possible role of the Big Bang lithium

open access: yes, 2012
Globular cluster stars show chemical abundance patterns typical of hot-CNO processing. Lithium is easily destroyed by proton capture in stellar environments, so its abundance may be crucial to discriminate among different models proposed to account for ...

Li isotopes in metal-poor halo dwarfs, a more and more complicated story [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The nuclei of the lithium isotopes are fragile, easily destroyed, so that, at variance with most of the other elements, they cannot be formed in stars through steady hydrostatic nucleosynthesis.

THE STARS OF THE LOWER PART OF MAIN SEQUENCE

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2007
Atmospheric parameters (Teff , log g, [Fe/H], Vt), Li, and volatile (O, Na, Al, Zn) and refractory (Si, Ti, V, Cr, Co and Ni) element abundances in 133 stars belonging to the low part of MS have been determined. Among them about 30 stars are the variable

Observational signatures of lithium depletion in the metal-poor globular cluster NGC6397

open access: yes, 2010
The "stellar" solution to the cosmological lithium problem proposes that surface depletion of lithium in low-mass, metal-poor stars can reconcile the lower abundances found for Galactic halo stars with the primordial prediction.

Lithium abundances in carbon stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1991
High-dispersion, high signal-to-noise ratio spectra near 6707 A have provided Li abundances for 29 cool carbon stars. The Li abundances are on average lower than found for M giants. This difference may be due to a systematic underestimate of the carbon stars' effective temperatures by 200-400 K. It is possible that Li may be destroyed at the base of an
