Science a. UV chemical abundances b. Galaxy chemical evolution c. S & R stars d. Light element abundances e. Cluster red giants and supergiants f. Asterosismology g. Stellar wind and rotation h. Novae, Supernovas, QSOs
Be Since Be is destroyed at higher temperatures, Li. Be diagrams are powerful tests for stellar interior models (see e. g. Delyiannis et al. 2000 IAU 198, Natal) Be is in the UV, in a CROWDED region ----> HR UV spectrograph + Spectral synthesis
Simultaneous Li x Be · Red giants and supergiants on bright clusters · Li x Be in F and G field stars
