Non-LTE abundance corrections for the lithium resonance line at 670.7nm and the subordinate line at 610.3nm, are calculated using 1D MARCS model atmospheres spanning a grid Teff=[4000,8000]K, log(g)=[1.0,5.0], and [Fe/H]=[0.0,-3.0], for lithium abundances in the range A(Li)=[-0.3,4.2]. The competing effects of ultraviolet over-ionization and photon losses in the resonance line govern the behaviour of the non-LTE effects with stellar parameters and lithium abundance. The size and sign of the non-LTE abundance corrections vary significantly over the grid for the 670.7nm line, but are typically positive and below 0.15dex for the 610.3nm, line. The new collisional data play a significant role in determining the abundance corrections.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-06-04T12:48:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "late-type stars", "neutral li", "non-lte abundance corrections", "marcs model atmospheres spanning", "abundance corrections vary" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1051/0004-6361/200912221", "journal": "Astronomy and Astrophysics", "year": 2009, "month": "Aug", "volume": 503, "number": 2, "pages": 541 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 822256, "adsabs": "2009A&A...503..541L" } } }
