EHB evolutionary tracks covering the ﹩\mathrm{log}\,g﹩–Teff region where sdB stars are observed. The seven tracks correspond, respectively, from left (high Teff) to right (low Teff), to objects with a ZAEHB envelope mass ﹩M_{\mathrm{env}\,}=0.0001﹩, 0.0002, 0.0007, 0.0012, 0.0022, 0.0032, and 0.0042 M⊙. The core mass is ﹩M_{c}=0.4758﹩ M⊙ for all sequences except the first and third (from the left), which have ﹩M_{c}=0.4690﹩ M⊙. In a given sequence, each filled square (for the sequences with ﹩M_{c}=0.4758﹩ M⊙) or filled triangle (for the sequences with ﹩M_{c}=0.4690﹩ M⊙) represents a model available for the pulsation calculations. The number along each track indicates the model for which there is a change of regime in the period evolution (see text).
