Researchers at IIA, Bengaluru discovers hundreds of Li-rich giant stars

A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), a premier institute devoted to research in astrophysics based in Bengaluru, (Karnataka), have discovered hundreds of Lithium (Li) rich giant stars, which proves it is being produced in the stars and accounts for its abundance in the interstellar medium. Key Points: They also established the connection between Lithium rich Helium (He) burning stars with red giant stars (also known as red clump giants).
