The primordial abundance of Li-6 and Be-9
Light element (Li-6, Li-7 and Be-9) depletion isochrones for halo starshave been calculated with standard stellar evolution models. Thesemodels include the latest available opacities and are computed throughthe subgiant branch. If Li-6 is not produced in appreciable amounts bystellar flares, then the detection of Li-6 in HD 84937 by Smith,Lambert, and Nissen is compatible with standard stellar evolution andstandard big bang nucleosynthesis only if HD 84937 is a subgiant. Thepresent parallax is consistent with HD 84937 being a subgiant star atthe 2.5 sigma level. The most metal poor star with a measured Be-9abundance is HD 140283, which is a relatively cool subgiant. Standardstellar evolution predicts that Be-9 will have been depleted in thisstar by approx. 0.3 dex (for Teff = 5640 K). Revising theabundance upward changes the oxygen-beryllium relation, suggestingincompatibility with standard cosmic-ray production models, and hence,standard big bang nucleosynthesis. However, an increase in the derivedtemperature of HD 1402283 to 5740 K would result in little depletion ofBe-9 and agreement with standard big bang nucleosynthesis.
