A Systematic NLTE Study of Very Metal-Poor Stars with Metallicity Down to dex. II. Lithium Abundance and New Insight to the Lithium Plateau
Hong-Liang Yan, Jinxiao Qin, Shuai Liu +12
Metal-poor stars are crucially important for understanding the early Galaxy, first stars, and the Universe. In this series of papers, we present a homogeneous non-local thermodynam…

A Tale of Two Origins: In-Situ versus Accreted Nitrogen-Rich Field Stars in the MW
Yi Qiao, Baitian Tang, José G. Fernández-Trincado +14
Spectroscopic surveys have identified significant numbers of metal-poor nitrogen-rich (N-rich) field stars. These stars are strong candidates for escapees from globular clusters (G…

Unevolved Li-rich stars at low metallicity: a possible formation pathway through novae
Tadafumi Matsuno, Alex Kemp, Ataru Tanikawa +7
A small fraction of low-mass stars have been found to have anomalously high Li abundances. Although it has been suggested that mixing during the red giant branch phase can lead to…
