We extend the {\sl\,PARSEC} library of stellar evolutionary tracks by computing new models of massive stars, from 14\Msun to 350\Msun. The input physics is the same used in the {\sl\,PARSEC}~V1.1 version, but for the mass-loss rate which is…
As part of a larger program aimed at better quantifying the uncertainties in stellar computations, we attempt to calibrate the extent of convective overshooting in low to intermediate mass stars by means of eclipsing binary systems. We…
We present a new comprehensive collection of stellar evolutionary tracks and isochrones for rotating low- and intermediate-mass stars assembled with the updated version of PARSEC V2.0. This version includes our recent calibration of the…
Double-line eclipsing binaries (DLEBs) have been recently used to constrain the amount of central mixing as a function of stellar mass, with contrasting results. In this work, we reanalyze the DLEB sample by Claret & Torres, using a…
(abbreviated) The evolution of intermediate mass stars at very low metallicity during their final thermal pulse asymptotic giant branch phase is studied in detail. As representative examples models with initial masses of 4Msun and 5Msun…
We discuss the effects of convective overshooting in the PMS evolution of intermediate mass stars, by analysing in detail the early evolution towards the main sequence of a 2 M_sun stellar model. These effects can be extremely important in…
Evolutionary tracks for 2-8M$_\odot$ models, covering a [Fe/H]=$-$1.0 ($Z=0.0014$) to [Fe/H]=+0.2 ($Z=0.02$) metallicity range are computed with Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics, MESA, to investigate evolutionary and…
The appearance of blue loops in the evolutionary tracks of intermediate-mass core He-burning stars is essential for explaining the observed characteristics of Cepheids. The blue loops for lower mass Cepheids cannot always be reproduced when…
Current massive star evolution grids are not able to simultaneously reproduce the empirical upper luminosity limit of red supergiants, the Humphrey-Davidson (HD) limit at high and low metallicity. In this study, we provide a better…
Thermohaline mixing is one of the main processes in low-mass red giant stars that affect the transport of chemicals and, thus, the surface abundances along the evolution. The interplay of thermohaline mixing with other processes, such as…
We present an analysis of CMDs of three intermediate-age LMC clusters, namely NGC 2173, SL 556 and NGC 2155. The main goal of our project is to investigate the amount of convective core overshoot necessary to reproduce the CMDs of…
We present a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the evolutionary properties of intermediate-mass stars. The evolutionary sequences were computed from the Zero Age Main Sequence up to the central He exhaustion and often up to the…
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 LMC clusters are unique templates of simple stellar population (SSP), being crucial to calibrate models describing the integral light as well as to test the stellar evolution theory. With this in mind we analyzed HST/WFPC2 (V, B--V)…
The main scope of this paper is to investigate the possible existence of a metallicity dependence of the overshooting from main sequence stars turbulent cores. We focus on objects with masses in the range ~2.5 Msol - ~25 Msol. Basically,…
We complement the PARSEC data base of stellar evolutionary tracks with new models of massive stars, from the pre-main sequence phase to the central carbon ignition. We consider a broad range of metallicities, 0.0001$\leq Z \leq$0.04 and…
The Humphreys-Davidson (HD) limit sets the boundary between evolutionary channels of massive stars that either end their lives as red supergiants (RSGs) or as the hotter blue supergiants (BSGs) and Wolf-Rayet stars. Mixing in the envelopes…
We have devised fitting formulae for evolution tracks of massive stars with $8 \lesssim M/M_\odot \lesssim 160$ under extreme metal poor (EMP) environments for $\log (Z/Z_\odot) = -2, -4, -5, -6$, and $-8$, where $M_\odot$ and $Z_\odot$ are…
Convective core overshooting extends the main-sequence lifetime of a star. Evolutionary tracks computed with overshooting are quite different from those that use the classical Schwarzschild criterion, which leads to rather different…
We present detailed evolutionary calculations focused on the evolution of intermediate mass stars with 3 Msun < M < 9 Msun of metallicity typical of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), i.e. Z=0.008. We compare carefully the models calculated…
