The isotopic<sup>6</sup>Li/<sup>7</sup>Li ratio in Centaurus X-4 and the origin of Li in X-ray binaries

Context.Cool stars, companions to compact objects, are known to show Li abundances which are high compared to field stars of the same spectral type, which are heavily Li depleted. This may be due either to Li production or Li preservation in these systems.
