SAGB models and web interface available


  • A large set of 100 SAGB stellar models covering the mass range 5-13 Mo and calculated for 7 different metallicities between Z=10-5 and twice solar is available online. Core overshooting was taken into account in two subsets for Z=10-4 and Z=0.02. All the models can be retrieved HERE.
  • A graphical interface allows the user to make plots of the evolution of various structural variables. This tool is available HERE.
