ST ScI Preprint #1355 . Authors: Lionel Siess, 1,2 Mario Livio 1 This paper extends our previous study of planet/brown dwarf accretion by giant stars to solar mass stars located on the red giant branch. The model assumes that the planet is dissipated at the bottom of the convective envelope of the giant star. ... We propose that the IR excess and high Li abundance observed in 4-8% of the G and K giants originate from the accretion of a giant planet, a brown dwarf or a very low-mass star. ...
