Description
We have observed seven main sequence stars in the Pleiades, with B - V between 0.98 and 1.41 (5100-3900 K), and with a wide range of rotational velocities, in Ca II H and K, Ha and have derived Li abundances. Our results, combined with literature data, indicate that the most chromospherically active stars are rapid rotators, and that at a given effective temperature the Li-rich stars show the highest chromospheric activity. A different surface coverage of active regions could influence the dichotomy observed in the Li abundance distribution.
