Lithium evolution in young open clusters from the Gaia-ESO Survey
Abstract
The Gaia-ESO Survey provides the largest database of homogeneously-determined lithium abundances and stellar parameters for open star clusters of different age and metallicity. It is therefore well suited to investigate young stellar evolution and to provide independent age estimates in young clusters. We present the lithium results for a sample of young clusters of ages between 10 and 100 Myr, and compare the observed lithium depletion patterns with models of lithium depletion in pre-main sequence stars.
