7 Lithium equivalent width

All brown dwarfs and low-mass stars observed with UVES show lithium absorption at 6708Å. The measured equivalent width is given in Table1 for all objects. For ChaH$\alpha $7 only an upper limit of EW(Li) was determined due to a low S/N. For eight of the twelve bona fide and candidate brown dwarfs in ChaI lithium detection and equivalent width measurements have been reported by Neuhäuser & Comerón (1999). Our UVES spectra allow us to add the Lithium detection of ChaH$\alpha $12.
