We computed the main sequence structure of masses from 2 to 0.7 M for two choices of helium (Y) and metal (Z) mass fractions. Models are given for solar composition (Y=0.285, Z=0.018) and for a composition appropriate to a younger population I (Y=0.32, Z=0.03). We took particular care both in the choice of the most recent opacities presently available and in the treatment of the input physics and numerics (see also D’Antona et al, 1992).

Opacities from Rogers and Iglesias (1992) were adopted where available, complemented with those by Kurucz (1991) at T≤10000 K and, elsewhere, by the Los Alamos opacities (Huebner et al. 1977). The equation of state by Mihalas et al. (1988) was used at ρ ≤ 0.01, and elsewhere the relation P = P(ρ,T) was taken from Magni and Mazzitelli (1979), while the adiabatic gradient was obtained from a Saha type e.o.s..
