Isochrone and LF Generator

Description

This page allows one to interpolate isochrones for any [Fe/H] within the bounds of the computed grid (via a web interface to iso_interp_feh) and generate luminosity functions (LFs) from those isochrones (via a web interface to isolf). For more on these programs see the Programs page. Available only for the 1 - 15 Gyr isochrone sets.

Interpolation Options

Interpolation: Cubic is the default. Linear is available.

Output Options

Output: Choose the desired type of output.

Age Options

Enter a list of ages in Gyr separated by spaces, e.g. "10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4".
Available range is 1 - 15 Gyr. Leave empty for the default set of ages.
Maximum of 50 ages.

Isochrone Options

[Fe/H]= Available range is -2.5 < [Fe/H] < +0.5
Helium: Helium mass fraction. Y=0.33 and 0.40 only available for [Fe/H] ≤ 0.
[α/Fe]= Options for [α/Fe]. Only [α/Fe]=0 or +0.4 for Y=0.33 and 0.40.
Colors: Choice of photometric system.

Luminosity Function Options

Filter No.: Filter in which to build LFs. Consult the table below.
Bin Size= Bin size in mag.
IMF Type: Type of initial mass function (IMF).
PL: Slope= Power Law IMF: dN/dM ∝ MX. For Salpeter x=-2.35.
LN: μ= Log Normal IMF: μ in solar units
LN: σ= Log Normal IMF: σ in Solar units
