We investigate the influence of both a new generation of low-temperature opacities and of various amounts of alpha-element enhancements on stellar evolution models. New stellar models with two different alpha-element mixtures and two sets…

We present new stellar population models, $\alpha$-MC, self-consistently taking into account non-solar $\rm [\alpha/Fe]$ abundances for both isochrones and stellar spectra. The $\alpha$-MC models are based on $\alpha$-enhanced MIST…
This paper is the 4th in a series describing the latest additions to the BaSTI stellar evolution database, which consists of a large set of homogeneous models and tools for population synthesis studies. Here we present a new set of low and…
Integrated light from distant galaxies is often compared to stellar population models via the equivalent widths of spectral features--spectral indices--whose strengths rely on the abundances of one or more elements. Such comparisons hinge…
We have constructed a new set of isochrones, called the Y^2 Isochrones, that represent an update of the Revised Yale Isochrones (RYI), using improved opacities and equations of state. Helium diffusion and convective core overshoot have also…
Precise studies on the Galactic bulge, halo, thick disk, and globular clusters require stellar models with alpha enhancement and various He contents. For this purpose we complement existing PARSEC (PAdova-TRieste Stellar Evolution Code)…
The first paper in this series explored the effects of altering the chemical mixture of the stellar population on an element by element basis on stellar evolutionary tracks and isochrones to the end of the red giant branch. This paper…

Constraining stellar models using asteroseismic and spectroscopic observations is a powerful method for precisely determining the fundamental properties of stars in different kinematic components of our galaxy. We use spectroscopy and…
