Convective core overshoot affects stellar evolution rates and the dating of stellar populations. In this paper, we provide a patch to the $Y^2$ isochrones with an improved treatment of convective core overshoot. The new tracks cover the…
We extend our theoretical computations for low-mass stars to intermediate-mass and massive stars, for which few databases exist in the literature. Evolutionary tracks and isochrones are computed from 2.50 to 20 solar masses for agrid of 37…
The last decade showed an impressive observational effort from the photometric and spectroscopic point of view for ancient stellar clusters in our Galaxy and beyond. The theoretical interpretation of these new observational results requires…
