Description
Spectra of resolution λ/Δλ ≡ 2×104 and good S:N ratio are presented in the range containing the 7Li doublet at 6707 Å for 9 main sequence or slightly evolved stars in NGC 752 (age ≡2×109years). The authors investigate the suggested main sequence bimodality using the spectroscopic indications of binarity and high rotational velocity, as well as the Li abundance to supplement previous photometry.
