Abstract

We present analytic formulae that approximate the evolution of stars for a\nwide range of mass and metallicity. Stellar luminosity, radius and core mass\nare given as a function of age, M and Z, for all phases from the zero-age\nmain-sequence up to, and including, the remnant stages. For the most part we\nfind continuous formulae accurate to within 5% of detailed models. These\nformulae are useful for purposes such as population synthesis that require very\nrapid but accurate evaluation of stellar properties, and in particular for use\nin combination with N-body codes. We describe a mass loss prescription that can\nbe used with these formulae and investigate the resulting stellar remnant\ndistribution.\n
