The application to main-sequence stars of the rotation-induced mixing theory in the presence of mu-gradients leads to partial mixing in the lithium destruction region, not visible in the atmosphere. The induced lithium depletion becomes visible in the sub-giant phase as soon as the convective zone deepens enough. This may explain why the observed lithium dilution is smoother and the final dilution factor larger than obtained in standard models, while the lithium abundance variations are very small on the main sequence.

We present a survey of lithium abundances in 185 main- sequence field stars with Teff between 5600 and 6600 K and [Fe/H] from -1.4 to +0.2 based on high-resolution spectra of 130 stars and a reanalysis of data from Lambert et al. (1991). The survey t
akes advantage of improved ways of determining effective temperature, metallicity, mass and age, offering an opportunity to investigate the behaviour of Li as a function of these parameters. An interesting result is the presence of a large gap in the Li-Teff plane, which distinguishes `Hyades-like, Li-dip stars from other stars. These Li-dip stars have a well-defined mass, which decreases with metallicity. Stars above the gap, when divided into four metallicity groups, may show a correlation between Li abundance and stellar mass, but with a large dispersion that cannot be explained by observational errors or differences in metallicity and age, which ranges from 1.5 to 15 Gyr. This suggests that Li depletion occurs early in stellar life and that other parameters, e.g. initial rotation velocity and/or the rate of angular momentum loss, affect the degree of depletion. A comparison of the distribution of stars in the Li-[Fe/H] plane with evolutionary models of Romano et al. (1999) suggests that novae are a major source for the Li production in the Galactic disk.
Beryllium and oxygen abundances have been derived in a sample of F-type field stars for which lithium abundances had been measured previously, with the aim of obtaining observational constraints to discriminate between the different mixing mechanisms
proposed. Mixing associated with the transport of angular momentum in the stellar interior and internal gravity waves within the framework of rotating evolutionary models, appear to be promising ways to explain the observations.
We present new UVES spectra of a sample of 15 cool unevolved stars with and without detected planetary companions. Together with previous determinations, we study Be depletion and possible differences in Be abundances between both groups of stars. We
obtain a final sample of 89 and 40 stars with and without planets, respectively, which covers a wide range of effective temperatures, from 4700 K to 6400 K, and includes several cool dwarf stars for the first time. We determine Be abundances for these stars and find that for most of them (the coolest ones) the BeII resonance lines are often undetectable, implying significant Be depletion. While for hot stars Be abundances are aproximately constant, with a slight fall as Teff decreases and the Li-Be gap around 6300 K, we find a steep drop of Be content as Teff decreases for Teff < 5500 K, confirming the results of previous papers. Therefore, for these stars there is an unknown mechanism destroying Be that is not reflected in current models of Be depletion. Moreover, this strong Be depletion in cool objects takes place for all the stars regardless of the presence of planets, thus, the effect of extra Li depletion in solar-type stars with planets when compared with stars without detected planets does not seem to be present for Be, although the number of stars at those temperatures is still small to reach a final conclusion.
In an attempt to carry out a systematic study on the behavior of the photospheric abundances of Li, C, and O (along with Fe) for Hyades main-sequence stars in the T_eff range of ~5000-7000K, we conducted an extensive spectrum-synthesis analysis appli
ed to four spectral regions (comprising lines of Fe-group elements, Li I 6708 line, C I 7111-7119 lines, and O I 6156-8 lines) based on the high-dispersion spectra of 68 selected F-G type stars belonging to this cluster. The abundances of C and O turned out to be fairly uniform in a marginally supersolar level such like the case of Fe: <[C/H]> = +0.15 (sigma = 0.08), <[O/H]> = +0.22 (sigma = 0.14), and <[Fe/H]> = +0.11(sigma = 0.08), suggesting that the primordial abundances are almost retained for these elements. Strictly, however, they show a slightly increasing trend with a decrease in T_eff (typically on the order of ~10^(-4) dex/K; while this might be due to an improper choice of atmospheric parameters, we found it hard to give a quantitatively reasonable explanation. Regarding Li, we confirmed the well-known T_eff-dependent trend in the Li abundance reported so far (a conspicuous Li-trough at 6300K <T_eff< 6700K and a progressive decrease toward a lower T_eff at T_eff < 6000K), which means that the surface Li of Hyades stars is essentially controlled only by T_eff and other parameters such as the rotational velocity are almost irrelevant.
From sector 1--40 {em TESS} observations, 20 new roAp stars, 97 ostensibly non-peculiar stars with roAp-like frequencies (the roA variables) and 617 $delta$~Scuti stars with independent frequencies typical of roAp stars were found. There is no criter
ion that can distinguish roAp/roA stars from $delta$~Sct stars. For expediency, an arbitrary low frequency of 60,d$^{-1}$ was chosen as the boundary between the $delta$~Sct and roAp/roA classes. Because an unknown mode selection process is clearly present in $delta$~Sct stars, the roAp/roA stars may be considered as $delta$~Sct stars in which high frequencies are preferentially selected. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the combined proportion of $delta$~Sct and roAp stars among Ap stars is the same as among non-Ap stars. Contrary to models, observations show that low frequencies in Ap stars are not suppressed. One of the most puzzling aspects of roAp stars is the large fraction which have short mode lifetimes. The failure of current models to explain these results may be due to an incorrect treatment of the outer layers of these stars.
