Goodness-of-fit test for isochrone fitting in the Gaia era. Statistical assessment of the error distribution

G. Valle, M. Dell'Omodarme, E. Tognelli

[...] This paper presents a rigorous derivation of a goodness-of-fit statistics for colour-magnitude diagrams (CMD). We discuss the reliability of the underlying assumptions and th…

Statistical errors and systematic biases in the calibration of the convective core overshooting with eclipsing binaries. A case study: TZ Fornacis

G. Valle, M. Dell'Omodarme, P. G. Prada Moroni +1

We attempt to constrain the initial helium abundance, the age and the efficiency of the convective core overshooting of the binary system TZ Fornacis. Our main aim is in pointing o…

A statistical test on the reliability of the non-coevality of stars in binary systems

G. Valle, M. Dell'Omodarme, P. G. Prada Moroni +1

We develop a statistical test on the expected difference in age estimates of two coeval stars in detached double-lined eclipsing binary systems that are only caused by observationa…

Evolution of the habitable zone of low-mass stars. Detailed stellar models and analytical relationships for different masses and chemical compositions

G. Valle, M. Dell'Omodarme, P. G. Prada Moroni +1

We study the temporal evolution of the habitable zone (HZ) of low-mass stars - only due to stellar evolution - and evaluate the related uncertainties. These uncertainties are then…

StellaR: a Package to Manage Stellar Evolution Tracks and Isochrones

M. Dell'Omodarme, G. Valle

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 proc…
