On the use of lithium to derive the ages of stars like our Sun
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2008
Abstract
Along with chromospheric emission, lithium abundances are widely used to infer the ages of solar-like. We re-assess the validity and limits of this approach, based on new high quality Li measurements in seven open clusters observed with Giraffe on the ESO VLT.
