Description

In this work we present atmospheric parameters and Li abundances, obtained from a detailed spectroscopic analysis, for a large sample of stars with different evolutionary stages (turn-off, subgiant and giant stars) in the open cluster M67. The observations were carried out with high resolution (R ~ 47,000) and high S/N using the UVES+FLAMES at VLT/UT2. From available photometry and computed synthetic spectra for the region around the lithium line at 6707.75 Å, we derive atmospheric parameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H], v sin i) and Li abundances for each star, in order to better understand the level of mixing and convective dilution of evolved stars in M67.
