Meridional Circulation. I. A Formation Channel for Lithium-rich and Super-lithium-rich Red Clump Stars

Current observations indicate that stars with higher rotation rates appear to maintain more surface lithium, and the majority of lithium-rich giants are indeed red clump stars. Hence, we investigate the mechanisms behind lithium enrichment in rotating red clump stars and the pathways to forming lith...
