Description

Fast rotating red giant branch stars in the first dredge-up phase provide a unique opportunity to study connections between enhanced Li abundance and activity. DI Psc is (HD 217352) a Li- rich, active single K giant, a new candidate for the rather small group of giants currently in this state. We reconstructed the surface temperature distribution by the means of Doppler Imaging on several lines including Li I 6708 using exceptionally high resolution and signal-to-noise spectra covering two rotational periods. The surface differential rotational pattern was recovered using cross correlation of the consecutive maps to investigate if it is affected by the dredge-up mechanism.
