On the Reality of the High Lithium Abundances in Carbon Stars

Because of recent advances in model atmospheres for cool stars, there may be some doubt as to the validity of previous estimates of the Li abundance in the super-Li stars. Through the behavior of the resonance lines of K i, we show that these analyses are correct, and that the super-Li stars represent a real abundance peculiarity of Li. Key words: super-Li stars - Li abundances
