Abstract
We explore the production of and stellar yields of 7Li for a range of mass and metallicity. We test the effect of varying the mass loss rate and well as the mixing length parameter on the production of lithium. There is a short duration of strong enhancement of Lithium in the early AGB phase, before any thermal pulses. Higher mass-loss rate, particularly in the early AGB phase, will result in stronger Li enhancement. In general, metal-poor stars produce less lithium because the mass-loss rates are lower during the Li-rich phase. We also compare the observed abundances of Li-rich stars with our models and discuss possible formation of Li-rich stars through mass transfer from SAGB primary. If a SAGB star is observed before thermal pulses or the SAGB primary evolution truncated before thermal pulses due to binary interactions, then the observed SAGB stars or its companion may be observed as Li-rich but without s-process isotopes.
