Lithium abundances and rotational behavior for bright giant stars

Aims.We study the links possibly existing between the lithium content of bright giant stars and their rotational velocity. Methods.We performed a spectral analysis of 145 bright giant stars (luminosity class II) spanning the spectral range from F3 to K5. All these stars have homogeneous rotational v...
