OP Andromedae is one of the few red giant stars where it was detected an overabundance of 7Li.[6] The mechanism that enhances lithium in red giants is still unknown. It was proposed that those stars engulfed planets in the recent past; however, this theory was discarded since there is an overabundance of just one lithium isotope.[7]
