Description
Doppler shifts induced by convective motions in stellar atmospheres
affect the shape of spectral absorption lines and create slightly
asymmetric line profiles. It is important to take this effect into
account in modeling the subtle depression created by the 6Li
isotope which lies on the red wing of the Li I 670.8 nm resonance
doublet line, since convective motions in stellar atmospheres can mimic
a presence of 6Li when intrinsically symmetric theoretical
line profiles are presumed for the analysis of the 7Li
doublet \citep{cayrel2007}. Based on CO5BOLD hydrodynamical
model atmospheres, we compute 3D non-local thermodynamic equilibrium
(NLTE) corrections for the 6Li/7Li isotopic ratio
by using a grid of 3D NLTE and 1D LTE synthetic spectra. These
corrections must be added to the results of the 1D LTE analysis to
correct them for the combined 3D non-LTE effects. As one would expect,
the resulting corrections are always negative and they range between 0
and -5 %, depending on effective temperature, surface gravity, and
metallicity. For each metallicity we derive an analytic expression
approximating the 3D NLTE corrections as a function of effective
temperature, surface gravity and projected rotational velocity.
