We present Li, Na, Al, and Fe abundances of 199 lower red giant branch star members of the stellar system Omega Centauri, using high-resolution spectra acquired with FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope. The A(Li) distribution is peaked at A(Li) ∼ 1 dex with a prominent tail towards lower values. The peak of the distribution well agrees with the lithium abundances measured in lower red giant branch stars in globular clusters and Galactic field stars. Stars with A(Li) ∼ 1 dex are found at metallicities lower than [Fe/H] ∼ –1.3 dex but they disappear at higher metallicities. On the other hand, Li-poor stars are found at all metallicities. The most metal-poor stars exhibit a clear Li–Na anti-correlation, where about 30% of the sample have A(Li) lower than ∼0.8 dex, while these stars represent a small fraction of normal globular clusters. Most of the stars with [Fe/H] > –1.6 dex are Li poor and Na rich. The Li depletion measured in these stars is not observed in globular clusters with similar metallicities and we demonstrate that it is not caused by the proposed helium enhancements and/or young ages. Hence, these stars formed from a gas already depleted in lithium. Finally, we note that Omega Centauri includes all the populations (Li-normal/Na-normal, Li-normal/Na-rich, and Li-poor/Na-rich stars) observed, to a lesser extent, in mono-metallic GCs.

The Absolute

We have a list of nearby bulge-like turnoff stars with metallicities in the range −0.3 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ +0.6, for which we have the absolute magnitude from Hipparcos, Geneva photometry (therefore temperature and metallicity), and radial velocity from Coravel (Grenon 1990, 1997). From Hipparcos data, the turnoff of these field stars indicate an age of 10-11 Gyr, which would be the age of the most metal-rich component of the bulge.We obtained high resolution échelle spectra with FEROS, with the aim to carry out detailed analysis of these stars. In this paper we present the Li abundance for 40 of these metal-rich and old dwarf stars, as a function of their temperatures.

Ultraviolet Observations

Although coronae for stars other than the Sun have previously been detected only in the X-ray and radio portions of the spectrum, the HST and future spacecraft sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet (ETIV) light will have the spectral resolution to study the dynamics and spectroscopic diagnostics of hot coronal plasmas. In the UV region accessible to HST, forbidden lines of FeXII at 1242 and 1349Å, of FeXXI at 1354Å, and other species seen in solar flares, are predicted to be present in the spectra of active stars. Upcoming observations with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) by S. Maran will search for these lines in the dM2e star AU Mic and other stars.

Abstract Stellar parameters of 25 planet-hosting stars and abundances of Li, C, O, Na, Mg, Al, S, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, Y, Zr, Ba, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu, were studied based on homogeneous high resolution spectra and uniform techniques. The iron abundance [Fe/H] and key elements (Li, C, O, Mg, Si) indicative of the planet formation, as well as the dependencies of [El/Fe] on Tcond, were analyzed. The iron abundances determined in our sample stars with detected massive planets range within –0.3 < [Fe/H] < 0.4. The behaviour of [C/Fe], [O/Fe], [Mg/Fe] and [Si/Fe] relative to [Fe/H] is consistent with the Galactic Chemical Evolution trends. The mean values of C/O and [C/O] are <C/O> = 0.48 ±0.07 and <[C/O]> = –0.07 ±0.07, which are slightly lower than solar ones. The Mg/Si ratios range from 0.83 to 0.95 for four stars in our sample and from 1.0 to 1.86 for the remaining 21 stars. Various slopes of [El/Fe] vs. Tcond were found. The dependencies of the planetary mass on metallicity, the lithium abundance, the C/O and Mg/Si ratios, and also on the [El/Fe]–Tcond slopes were considered.

AbstractThe lithium abundance was calculated for five metal-poor red giant stars from Li i doublet at 6707 Å by fitting the observed high-resolution spectra with synthetic spectra. The lithium abundance was found to be low in all stars, logϵ(Li) ≤ 1.8, confirming lithium depletion on the red giant and asymptotic giant branch.

Possible Cause

Observations of lithium in sunspots resulted in the prediction of significant lithium equivalent-width variability in chromospherically active stars. Lithium observations of several types of active stars, such as pre-main-sequence stars and late-type dwarfs in very young clusters, whose members are assumed to be nearly coeval, as well as post-main-sequence objects, show a significant range of abundances. Thus, a number of researchers over the past decade have investigated star spots as the possible cause of the various observed lithium-abundance spreads. Observationally, some evidence has been found for lithium equivalent-width variations. Computed synthetic spectra indicate that under certain conditions significant variations should be detected, but such conditions are not often met except perhaps in the most active stars. While variations have been claimed for some T Tauri stars, simultaneous photometry and spectroscopy will be needed to explore the complex relation of spots and lithium-abundance variations. The fact that some post-main-sequence stars have lithium abundances similar to those of pre-main-sequence stars complicates the identification of isolated pre-main-sequence systems.

AbstractHigh-resolution spectra obtained with the 6m BTA telescope, Russia, and with HARPS and VLT/UVES telescopes at ESO, Chile, were used for Doppler Imaging analysis of two roAp stars, HD 12098 and HD 60435, showing strong and variable Li resonance line in their spectra. We found that Li has highly inhomogeneous distribution on the surfaces of these stars. We compared our results with previously obtained Doppler Imaging mapping of two CP2 stars, HD 83368 and HD 3980, and discuss the correlation between the position of the high Li-abundance spots and magnetic field.

High-resolution 21-cm line observations in a region aroundlII= 120°,b11= +15°, have revealed four types of structure in the interstellar hydrogen: a smooth background, large sheets of density 2 atoms cm-3, clouds occurring mostly in groups, and ‘Cloudlets’ of a few solar masses and a few parsecs in size; the velocity dispersion in the Cloudlets is only 1 km/sec. Strong temperature variations in the gas are in evidence.
