Lithium during the AGB evolution in young open clusters of the Large   Magellanic cloud
  We present the results of mid-resolution spectroscopy in the LiI 6708 AA spectral region of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars belonging to young open clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Most stars belong to the clusters NGC 1866 and NGC 2031, which have an age of ~ 150 Myr. Lithium lines of different strength are detected in the spectra of stars evolving along the AGB, not always in agreement with theoretical predictions. We also analyze the infrared luminosities (ISOCAM data) of these stars, to discuss if their evolutionary phase precedes or follows the lithium production stage.
