Grids of stellar models

Abstract

We present a new grid of stellar models from 0.8 to \massii{60} atZ=0.10, with mass loss and moderate overshooting, from the zero age mainsequence to either the helium flash (low mass stars), the early AGBphase (intermediate-mass stars) or the end of carbon burning (massivestars). The calculations are done with opacities provided by\cite[Iglesias {\amp} Rogers (1993)]{igl93}, completed by those of\cite[Alexander {\amp} Ferguson (1994)]{ale94} at low temperatures. Thisgrid is a homogeneous extension to very high metallicity of the previousgrids published by the Geneva group. It is useful for the study ofgalactic bulges, elliptical galaxies and eventually quasars.Calculations of stars more massive than \massii{60} are not presented asthese objects lose almost their entire mass during their main sequencephase, and are likely to end their life as white dwarfs.
