[14.02] Lithium in the Pleiades Revisited

J. R. King (Clemson University), L. M. Hobbs (University of Chicago/Yerkes Observatory), S. C. Schuler (Clemson University), M. H. Pinsonneault (Ohio State University)

New Li abundances have been derived for some 15-20 Pleiades dwarfs using new high-resolution and high S/N spectroscopy from HET/HRS. Previous studies suggested that our objects, all modest (projected) rotators, evinced considerable scatter in their Li abundances. We revisit the question of this scatter and its origin. This work has been supported by NSF grants AST 00-86576 and 02-39518, a South Carolina Space Grant Scholarship award, a generous donation from the Curry Foundation of Seneca, SC, and the NOAO Public Access Program.
