Very Low-Mass Stars: structural and evolutionary properties
arXiv:1111.6464
Abstract
We briefly review the main physical and structural properties of Very Low-Mass stars. The most important improvements in the physical inputs required for the stellar models computations are also discussed. We show some comparisons with observational measurements concerning both the Color-Magnitude diagrams, mass-luminosity relations and mass-radius one, in order to disclose the level of agreement between the present theoretical framework and observations.
