Description
Using the Coudé Echelle Spectrograph fed by the 1.4 m
Coudé Auxiliary Telescope at ESO, La Silla, the authors have
obtained a sequence of fourteen high resolution
(λ/Δλ = 105) spectra at high signal to
noise ratio, of main sequence and near main sequence objects in the
wavelength range containing the 6708 Å resonance doublet of
lithium. Using Kurucz thermal equilibrium model atmospheres, and relying
on the excellent signal to noise ratios in the spectra, they were able
to assess not only the 7Li components, but also the weaker
6Li components of the blended doublet.
