ADC_Keywords: Isochrones 

Description:
    The following data and program files are provided:
    1. Evolutionary tracks/isochrones from VandenBerg (1985, ApJS, 58, 711):
       "Evolution of 0.7-3.0 Solar masses stars having -1.0<=[Fe/H]<=0.0"
       V852M3.TRK and V852M3.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.0017
       V853M3.TRK and V853M3.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.0030
       V856M3.TRK and V856M3.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.0060
       V851M2.TRK and V851M2.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.0100
       V852M2.TRK and V852M2.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.0169
       Note that 'V852M3' represents 'V(andenBerg 19)85' results for a metal
       abundance '2 (times 10 to the) M(inus) 3'.  That is, the file name
       gives the initials of the author(s), the year of publication, and the
       assumed value of Z (the mass-fraction metal abundance) to one
       significant figure.  This convention is used for all data files in
       this package.  Reference should be made to V85 to assist the
       identification of the quantities that are contained in the files.
       Note that, in the case of the above .ISO files, a zero-age main
       sequence is given as well as isochrones for ages from 0.3 to 15 Gyr.
    2. Isochrones from VandenBerg & Bell (1985, ApJS, 58, 561) and Bell &
       "Theoretical isochrones for Globular Clusters"
       VandenBerg (1987, ApJS, 63, 335):
       VB851M4A.ISO and VB851M4B.ISO  -  Z=0.0001 (Y=0.2 & Y=0.3)
       VB853M4A.ISO and VB853M4B.ISO  -  Z=0.0003 (Y=0.2 & Y=0.3)
       VB851M3A.ISO and VB851M3B.ISO  -  Z=0.0010 (Y=0.2 & Y=0.3)
       VB853M3A.ISO and VB853M3B.ISO  -  Z=0.0030 (Y=0.2 & Y=0.3)
       VB856M3A.ISO and VB856M3B.ISO  -  Z=0.0060 (Y=0.2 & Y=0.3)
       Note that 'A' or 'B' has been appended to the file name to indicate
       Y=0.2 or Y=0.3, respectively.  (The file name has been limited to 8
       characters so as not to exceed the maximum length permitted on IBM
       machines.)  Once again, reference should be made to the two published
       papers to identify the quantities that have been saved.
    3. Evolutionary tracks/isochrones from VandenBerg & Laskarides (1987,
       ApJS, 64, 103):
       "Theoretical isochrones for old, super-metal-rich stars"
       VL873M2A.TRK and VL873M2A.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.03
       VL873M2B.TRK and VL873M2B.ISO  -  Y=0.35, Z=0.03
       VL876M2A.TRK and VL876M2A.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.06
       VL876M2B.TRK and VL876M2B.ISO  -  Y=0.35, Z=0.06
       VL871M1A.TRK and VL871M1A.ISO  -  Y=0.25, Z=0.10
       VL871M1B.TRK and VL871M1B.ISO  -  Y=0.35, Z=0.10
       Note that 'A' or 'B' has been appended to the file name to indicate
       Y=0.25 or Y=0.35, respectively.  The .TRK files are self-explanatory;
       in the case of the .ISO files, each line gives 'mass, Mbol, and log
       Teff' values for each of three consecutive points along an isochrone.
       No attempt has been made to transform the models to the observed plane
    4. Isochrones from Proffitt & VandenBerg (1991, ApJS 77, 473):
       "Implication of He diffusion for globular cluster isochrones and
        luminosity functions":
       PV911M4S.ISO and PV911M4D.ISO  -  Z=0.0001 (without/with diffusion)
       PV911M3S.ISO and PV911M3D.ISO  -  Z=0.0010 (without/with diffusion)
       PV914M3S.ISO and PV914M3D.ISO  -  Z=0.0040 (without/with diffusion)
       Note that 'S' and 'D' have been appended to the file name to indicate
       'standard' or 'diffusive' calculation, respectively.  The Z values
       given above refer to the mass-fraction of metals exclusive of the
       assumed oxygen abundance enhancement.  (See point 6. below)
    5. Isochrones from Bergbusch & VandenBerg (1992, ApJS 81, 163)
       "Oxygen-enhanced models for globular cluster stars. II.
        Isochrones and luminosity functions"
       BV921M4.ISO  -  Z=0.0001
       BV922M4.ISO  -  Z=0.00017
       BV923M4.ISO  -  Z=0.0003
       BV924M4.ISO  -  Z=0.0004
       BV926M4.ISO  -  Z=0.0006
       BV921M3.ISO  -  Z=0.0010
       BV922M3.ISO  -  Z=0.0017
       BV923M3.ISO  -  Z=0.0030
       BV924M3.ISO  -  Z=0.0040
       BV926M3.ISO  -  Z=0.0060
       Note that the Z values given above refer to the mass-fraction of
       metals exclusive of the assumed oxygen abundance enhancement.
    6. The luminosity function code (LUMVAX.FOR or LUMIBM.FOR):
       The names specify either a VAX or an IBM version of the code which
       can process any of the files in 4. or 5. above to produce tables of
       isochrones and luminosity functions.  The tables which are generated
       should be identical to the tables that appear in the Proffitt &
       VandenBerg and the Bergbusch & VandenBerg studies.  The first several
       lines in the two codes describe what is required to execute them.
       *** The tables can be generated as a set of files *.lf either
           on VAX (@make) or on Unix platforms (make)
    7. COLLO.TXT and COLHI.TXT are the color transformation and bolometric
       correction data used to transpose the models from the theoretical to
       the observed plane.  The user may wish to extract SUBROUTINE COLOR
       from LUMVAX.FOR or LUMIBM.FOR to derive colors for any [Fe/H]
       (preferably between 0.0 and -2.0), log g, and log Teff.  Reference
       should be made to VandenBerg (1992, ApJ 391, 685) for a discussion
       of the transformation relations.
    Should the user encounter any difficulty with this package, he/she is
    invited to contact Don VandenBerg (davb@uvvm.uvic.ca).
