Scientific paper

We present Li abundances in dwarfs of the old (6-7Gyr) open cluster NGC 188, derived from high signal-to-noise, high resolution (R 15,000) spectra obtained with the Hydra multi-fiber spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5m telescope. These data multiply by a large factor the number of Li observations reported for this cluster. Membership and binarity were evaluated on photometric, proper motion, and radial velocity data. NGC 188 is possibly the oldest open cluster for which Li data exist. A variety of physical mechanisms have been proposed to explain the Li depletion that occurs in F dwarfs during the main sequence. We compare our Li data to various model predictions, and to other star clusters. See also our poster on NGC 188 subgiants (Trentadue et al.).
