Stellar Lithium Abundances and Activity
Abstract
Recent evidence has suggested that some portion of the scatter in star-to-star Li abundances as well as the Li-Teff relation in open cluster dwarfs may be spuriously caused by NLTE effects. Using new and extant literature data, we explore the relation between abundances and chromospheric emission in solar-type stars in several open clusters. This work is supported by NSF grant AST-0086576 to JRK.
