Abstract
In this talk, we describe our recent survey of search for Li-rich K giants among the controlled sample of 2000 K giants with accurate parallaxes. Survey resulted in 14 new Li-rich K giants including four new super Li-rich K giants doubling the known Li-rich K giants in the solar neighborhood. We will discuss the possible scenarios for its origin, and its connection with infrared excess.
Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
