Lithium and the Nature of Brown Dwarf Candidates
This paper discusses the ability of Li to confirm the substellar nature of a brown dwarf candidate. Theoretical computations using different interior models agree that brown dwarfs with masses below $sim$ 0.065 M$_{odot}$ preserve a significant fraction of their initial Li content while for higher masses total Li depletion occurs in very short
