The hot side of the lithium dip – LiBeB abundances beyond the main sequence

چکیده
We extend to the case of A and early-F type stars our study of the transport of matter and angular momentum by wind-driven meridional circulation and shear turbulence. We show that our fully consistent treatment of the same hydrodynamical processes which can account for C and N anomalies in B type stars (Talon et al. 1997) and for the shape of the hot side of the Li dip in the open clusters (Talon & Charbonnel 1998) also explains LiBeB observations in stars with Teff higher than 7000 K on the main sequence as well as in their evolved counterparts.

Measurements of the Isotopes of Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron from ACE/CRIS
The isotopes of lithium, beryllium, and boron (LiBeB) are known in nature to be produced primarily by CNO spallation and a a fusion from interactions between cosmic rays and interstellar nuclei. While the dominant source of LiBeB isotopes in the present epoch is cosmic-ray interactions, other sources are known to exist, including the production of Li from big bang nucleosynthesis. Precise obser...
متن کاملGalactic Cosmic Rays from Superbubbles and the Abundances of Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron
In this article we study the galactic evolution of the LiBeB elements within the framework of a detailed model of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy that includes galactic cosmic ray nucleosynthesis by particles accelerated in superbubbles. The chemical composition of the superbubble consists of varying proportions of ISM and freshly supernova synthesized material. The observational trends of...
متن کاملGyroscopic pumping of large-scale flows in stellar interiors, and application to Lithium Dip stars
The maintenance of large-scale differential rotation in stellar convective regions by rotationally influenced convective stresses also drives large-scale meridional flows by angular– momentum conservation. This process is an example of “gyroscopic pumping”, and has recently been studied in detail in the solar context. An important question concerns the extent to which these gyroscopically pumpe...
متن کاملLithium abundances in main-sequence F stars and sub-giants
The application to main-sequence stars of the rotation-induced mixing theory in the presence of μ-gradients leads to partial mixing in the lithium destruction region, not visible in the atmosphere. The induced lithium depletion becomes visible in the sub-giant phase as soon as the convective zone deepens enough. This may explain why the observed “ lithium dilution ” is smoother and the final di...
متن کاملChanges in Biochemical Parameters Related to Lipid Metabolism Following Lithium Treatment in Rat
Lithium is widely used in medicine as an anti-depressive drug. In spite of abundant literature, questions on the side effects of lithium ions are far from being answered. In this study, the effects of lithium on biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism were investigated. Male Wistar rats were treated with different doses of lithium for a period of up to 60 days. Blood samples were col...
