Abstract

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.
