Abstract:
    New grids of stellar evolutionary models are presented for a wide
    range of initial hydrogen content around the solar composition. These
    compositions are (X, Z) = (0.80, 0.02), (0.70, 0.02) and (0.60, 0.02).
    Recent OPAL opacities with LS coupling and Grevesse composition were
    adopted, and Alexander's tables were used for lower temperatures. We
    consider models with core overshooting with {alpha}_ov_=0.20, and
    mixing length parameter l/H_p_=1.52 that seems to represent well
    double-lined eclipsing binary stars. Mass loss during the main
    sequence and in the red giant phase were taken into account. The
    nuclear network treats 14 isotopes and optionally the lithium burning
    to study its depletion in less massive models during pre main sequence
    evolution. The mass range covered goes from 1 up to 40M_{sun}_ and
    the more massive models were followed until helium burning.

Historical Notes:
  * 03-Oct-1994: Received at CDS
  * 27-Mar-1995: the caption of original tables 3 and 4 were interchanged
                 (Antonio Claret dos Santos <aclaret@ll.iac.es>);
                 the correction has been reported in "tables".
