Turbulence and the Lithium Abundance in Giants and Main-Sequence Disk and Halo Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
The present situation concerning the observations of lithium in subgiant and giant stars is reviewed. These observations, compared to the determinations of lithium in main-sequence stars, can be used to obtain more stringents constraints on the dynamics of the stellar gas in the main-sequence as well as in the subgiant and giant stages. The macroscopic motions expected in stars are discussed from a theoretical point of view and compared to the observations, with special focusing on the theories of rotation-induced turbulence.
