A Super Lithium Rich giant in the metal - poor open cluster Berkeley 21 ?

We present the analysis of FEROS commissioning spectra of 3 giants in the metal poor cluster Be 21. One of the giants has an exceptionally high Li content, comparable to the original Li in the solar system. These objects are very rare (only a handful are known), and this is the first Super Lithium Rich giant (SLIR) discovered in an open cluster. The reasons for such a high Li abundance are unkn...
