A theoretical approach to globular cluster low main sequence stars
This paper present new evolutionary computations extending toward the lower main sequence previous computations given for globular cluster stars. We discuss the physical inputs with particular regard to the limit of the adopted usual treatment of the stellar atmosphere, which allows a tight correlation with actual stellar structures only for selected range of masses, depending on the assumed me...
متن کاملAn Updated Theoretical Scenario for Globular Cluster Stars
In the first part of this paper we revisit the history of theoretical predictions for HB luminosities in old Population II stellar clusters, starting from the results of ‘old’ evolutionary computations to introduce in various steps all the available ‘new’ physics. We discuss the influence of physical ingredients on selected evolutionary parameters, finally presenting models which incorporate al...
متن کاملMass Loss from Globular Clusters
We consider both observational and theoretical issues related to dynamical mass loss from the old globular star clusters of the Galaxy. On the observational side the evidence includes tidal tails and extratidal extensions, kinematic effects, effects on the mass function, and influences on the statistical properties of surviving objects. Even for isolated clusters, the theoretical issues are not...
متن کاملMass loss from OB-stars
We review recent developments regarding radiation driven mass loss from OB-stars. We first summarize the fundamental theoretical predictions, and then compare these to observational results (including the VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars). Especially we focus on the mass loss-metallicity dependence and on the so-called bi-stability jump. Subsequently we concentrate on two urgent problems, wea...
متن کاملGlobal metallicity of globular cluster stars from colour-magnitude diagrams
We have developed an homogeneous evolutionary scenario for Hand He-burning low-mass stars by computing updated stellar models for a wide metallicity and age range (0.0002≤ Z ≤0.004 and 9≤ t(Gyr) ≤15, respectively) suitable to study globular clusters. This theoretical scenario allows us to provide self-consistent predictions about the dependence of selected observational features of the colour-m...
