Further details for Dartmouth Models

A complete description of the input physics is described in Dotter et al. (2007) and Dotter et al. (2008).

Summary of the main inputs.

Equation of state:
OPAL EOS for M >=0.8 Msun (Chaboyer & Kim 1995)
FreeEOS equation in EOS4 configuration for M < 0.8 Msun (http://freeeos.sourceforge.net by A. Irwin)

Radiative opacities:
OPAL for log T[K] > 4.5 (Iglesias & Rogers 1996)
Ferguson et al. (2005) for log T[K] < 4.3
Interpolation between log T[K]=4.3 and 4.5

Atmospheric models:
Hauschildt et al. (1999a,b) for 2000 K <= Teff <= 10000 K
Castelli & Kurucz (2004) for Teff > 10000 K

Mixing length parameter:
Solar-calibrated value alpha=1.938

Core overshooting:
Lambda_over=0.05 for M=1.2 Msun
Lambda_over linearly scaled from 0.05 to 0.2 between M=1.2 and 1.4 Msun
Lambda_over=0.2 for M > 1.4 Msun
