On 7Li Enrichment by Low-Mass Metal-Poor Red Giant Branch Stars.

de La Reza R, da Silva L, Drake

    The Astrophysical Journal
    |June 3, 2000

    Summary

    Newly discovered lithium-rich giants in globular clusters may enrich interstellar matter. These stars could be a significant source of lithium in the Galactic disk, potentially explaining related element variations.

    Area of Science:

    • Astronomy
    • Stellar Astrophysics
    • Galactic Chemical Evolution

    Background:

    • First-ascent red giants with strong lithium (Li) lines have been observed in globular clusters.
    • The origin and enrichment of light elements like lithium in stellar populations are key areas of astrophysical research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential of lithium-rich giants in globular clusters to enrich the interstellar medium (ISM) with lithium.
    • To explore the implications of this enrichment for the Galactic disk and related elemental abundance variations.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a stellar internal prompt lithium enrichment-mass-loss scenario.
    • Modeling the enrichment of lithium in the interstellar matter of the globular cluster M3.

    Main Results:

    • Lithium enrichment up to 70% or more compared to the initial lithium content of M3 is possible over the cluster's lifetime.
    • Ram pressure likely removes newly enriched lithium from M3 into the Galactic disk as the cluster orbits.

    Conclusions:

    • Globular clusters may serve as novel sources of lithium for the Galactic disk.
    • Observed sodium/aluminum variations in globular cluster stars might be linked to lithium variations, possibly involving cool bottom process mixing.
