Li-rich produced by element diffusion
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
About 0.2-2% of giant stars are Li-rich, whose lithium abundance (A(Li) is higher than 1.5dex.
Description
Among them, near 6% are super Li-rich with A(Li) exceeding 3.2dex. Meanwhile, the formation mechanism of these Li-rich and super Li-rich giants is still under debate.
Considering the compact He core of red giants, attention is paid to the effect of element diffusion on A(Li). In particular, when the He core flash occurs, the element diffusion makes the thermohaline mixing zone extend inward and connect to the inner convection region of stars. Then, a large amount of ^7^Be produced by the He flash can be transferred to stellar surface, finally turning into ^7^Li.

Thus, the goal of this work is to propose the mechanism of A(Li) enrichment and achieve the consistency between the theoretical and observation data. In our model, the element diffusion mainly triggered by the gravity field changes the mean molecular weight at the junction zone between the stellar envelope and the He core, which makes the thermohaline mixing region expanding to the inner convection region of stars. A transport channel, efficiently transporting ^7^Be in the hydrogen burning region of the star to the convective envelope where ^7^Be decays into ^7^Li, is formed.
Combing a high constant diffusive mixing coefficients, the transport channel can explain the origin of Li-rich and super Li-rich giant, even the most super Li-rich giants.
