StellaR: a Package to Manage Stellar Evolution Tracks and Isochrones

arXiv:1301.3695

Abstract

We present the R package stellaR, which is designed to access and manipulate publicly available stellar evolutionary tracks and isochrones from the Pisa low-mass database. The procedures of the extraction of important stages in the evolution of a star from the database, of the isochrones construction from stellar tracks and of the interpolation among tracks are discussed and demonstrated.
