Lithium in other Suns: no connection between stars and planets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 April 2010
Abstract
An unbiased sample of solar twins shows that the Sun has a normal Li abundance for its age and that a low Li abundance does not imply the presence of planets. We find a tight correlation between Li and age, which holds for all stars analyzed in our sample: solar twins, stars with and without detected giant planets, and stars that may host terrestrial planets.
