AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds. II. The rate of star formation across the LMC

M. -R. L. Cioni, L. Girardi, P. Marigo +1

This article compares the distribution of Ks magnitude of Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars obtained from the DENIS and 2MASS data with theoretical d…

Constraining the third dredge-up via carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds

L. Girardi, P. Marigo

We use the available data for Magellanic Cloud carbon stars to constrain the efficiency of the third dredge-up process in TP-AGB models. We show that star counts in LMC clusters pr…

Evolution of zero-metallicity massive stars

P. Marigo, C. Chiosi, L. Girardi +1

We discuss the evolutionary properties of primordial massive and very massive stars, supposed to have formed from metal-free gas. Stellar models are presented over a large range of…

Does the mixing length parameter depend on metallicity?

Rossella Palmieri, Giampaolo Piotto, Ivo Saviane +2

This paper is a further step in the investigation of the morphology of the color-magnitude diagram of Galactic globular clusters, and the fine-tuning of theoretical models, made po…

Broad-band photometric evolution of star clusters

Leo Girardi

I briefly introduce a database of models that describe the evolution of star clusters in several broad-band photometric systems. Models are based on the latest Padova stellar evolu…

Theoretical expectations for clump red giants as distance indicators

Leo Girardi

Variations of ~0.4 mag are expected in the I-band absolute magnitude of red clump giants, M_I^RC, as a function of both stellar age and metallicity. This regardless of some potenti…
