| Description | We have studied the lithium abundance in 18 extremely metal-poor main-sequence turnoff stars as a function of [Fe/H] and line profiles as well as from B-V, V-K, J-H and J-K colours. The behaviour of A(Li) as a function of metallicity is markedly different when different temperature scales are adopted. However, even when applying standard depletion corrections, it is a robust result that the Li abundance in extremely metal poor dwarfs is far below the prediction of standard big bang nucleosynthesis using a baryonic density consistent with the WMAP data. |
