Scientific paper

Twenty F dwarfs in the Hyades Cluster have been observed for Li content with the CFH telescope and the UH 2.2 m telescope at high spectral resolution and high signal-to-noise ratios. Abundances have been determined for Li/H and Fe/H from a standard model atmosphere abundance routine. There is a remarkable variation of Li/H with stellar surface temperature: stars with Teff near 6600K show Li depletions by factors >100 relative to stars 300K hotter and cooler. The hottest stars (T > 7000K) show Li/H values of 10-9, the maximum observed in F field stars, meteorites, T Tauri stars, etc.
