We discuss estimates of stellar temperature, and the assemblage of a ‘critical set’ of target low-metallicity stars, from the HK Survey of Beers and collaborators, that can be used in the near future to put additional strong constraints on models for lithium production in the early Galaxy, and for inference of its primordial value.
