Notes. Abundance uncertainties are based on the statistical error as calculated by SME.

(a)

The abundance difference between TOP and RGB. The TOP and RGB abundances are the averages of results for the respective coadded group-averaged spectra. The uncertainty on the trends is based on the standard deviation of the two averages.

(b)

For the Li trend we take the RGB2 abundance as the cooler RGB group-averaged abundances are affected by the deep-mixing episode occurring on the RGB.

(Li)

Based on Li I λ6707.8, assuming NLTE.

(Ca)

Based on three Ca I λλ6493.9, 6499.7 and 6717.7, all assuming NLTE.

(Fe)

Based on five Fe I and one Fe II lines λλ6495.0, 6518.4, 6592.9, 6593.9, and 6678, and λ6516.1, assuming NLTE.
