[MODEST] Lithium in the Universe: first announcement

[lithium in the universe]

Dear colleague, we would like to draw your attention to the conference
"Lithium in the Universe: to Be or not to Be", to be held at the
Observatory of Rome (Italy), from November 18 to 22, 2019

The meeting will bring together experts from various fields to discuss the
role played by lithium in several astrophysical contexts and to highlight
the extraordinary character of this chemical species, as a tracer of the
structure and evolution of stars, galaxies and the Universe.

The main topics of the meeting will be:

 * Big Bang nucleosynthesis
 * Nuclear reaction rates involving lithium and beryllium
 * Physical processes in stellar interiors as traced by Li, Be, and B
 * Hot bottom burning in massive AGB stars
 * Lithium depletion in pre-MS stars and brown dwarfs
* Lithium and Beryllium in novae
 * Lithium in stellar clusters
 * Galaxy evolution
 * Lithium as tracer of the evolution of extra-galactic systems
 * Lithium and the First stars
 * Evolution in the disc and the bulge of the Milky Way
 * Li abundance modelling

More details on the conference, including logistics and registration,
are available at the following WEB page:

If you are interested, we kindly ask you to pre-register as soon as
possible, because the number of participants, owing to the limited
capability of the conference room, will be restricted to 120. We won't
be able to accept any registration once the afore limit is reached.
