Trajectories of central conditions for fully convective M < 0.3 M ☉ stars as they approach the main sequence ( M>0.08 M ☉) or become brown dwarfs for Y = 0.275 and Z = 0.019. Each solid line shows T c and ρ c for a fixed mass, M, noted at the end of the line (when the age is 3 Gyr). The dashed blue lines are isochrones for ages of 10, 30,100, 300 Myr and 1 Gyr. The purple squares and red circles show where D and 7Li is depleted by a factor of 100. The green triangles show the ZAMS.
