A new MESA modelling study finds that the secondary star in the binary system HD 81809 may have swallowed between 25 and 75 Earth masses of planetary material — but lithium observations complicate the picture, revealing a chemical paradox with no clean solution yet.

Some stars eat its planets. The chemical paradox of HD 81809 - SKYCR.ORG

A new study proposes that HD 81809B accreted 25–75 Earth masses of rocky material to explain its anomalously high metallicity compared to its binary companion. But lithium says otherwise.
