The Lithium Plateau Enigma
arXiv:astro-ph/9812255 · doi:10.1023/A:1002101913770
Abstract
Why is the lithium abundance constant in the so-called lithium plateau while all predictions suggest that it should vary from star to star? Can we find a "lithium attractor" which would remain stable in halo stars while fundamental parameters (M_*, Teff, [Fe/H]) vary?
