Luminosity as a function of temperature for the solar metallicity models. The solid black and red lines show the locations of ZAMS and TAMS, respectively. We show a comparison of evolutionary tracks from YREC (solid), PARSEC (dashed), and MIST (dashed–dotted) model grids for solar metallicity and Z = 0.017 for PARSEC. Tracks are shown for masses of 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, and 9.0 M⊙, as available in each model library. The 1.0, 3.0, and 9.0 M⊙ tracks are ended at He core ignition.
