Stars: Abundances

Scientific paper

Accretion of planetary (metal-rich) material onto a star in its early
phases can produce episodes of thermohaline convection below the outer
convective zone. These extra-mixing phases lead to rapid lithium
destruction. The observed dispersion of lithium abundances in solar-type
stars can be related to such events.
