Why…,Why…, ??
Stellar evolution model and isochrone archives are a fondamental working tool in modern astrophysics. Their use ranges from the study of single stellar objects, to Galactic and extragalactic stellar systems, in the near universe and at high redshift.
• Improvements in the physical inputs
• Homogeneity
• Coverage of the parameter space
• User friendly

• Equation of State: FreeEos by A. Irwin (2005)
• Radiative opacity: high-T OPAL (Rogers et al. 2000) - low-T Alexander & Ferguson (1994) + Ferguson et al. (2005)
• Conductive opacity: Potekhin (1999)
• Nuclear cross sections: NACRE (Angulo et al. 1999) + updates (Kunz et al.
2000, Formicola et al. 2003 + …)
The most updated library of stellar evolution modelscurrently available!!!

The coverage
• 11 metallicities: from Very Metal-poor Stars to Very metal-rich ones
• Heavy elements mixture: scaled solar & α-enhanced
• Helium abundance: Ypr=0.245 - Y/Z~1.4
• Core convection: canonical & overshooting
• Mass loss: Reimers’ law with =0.2 and 0.4
• Extremely fine mass grid for all evolutionary stages
• From the Pre-Main Sequence to the end of the Asymptotic Giant Branch or C-ignition
• Updated Color – Teff transformations + BC scale

an example!
we can account for a spread in the AMR, photometric errors, depth effects, interstellar extinction and unresolved binaries
It provides information about the number and period distribution of various types of radially pulsating stars

The mean GC He abundance is Y=0.250±0.006
Fully consistent with the primordial He abundance obtained by CMB observations coupled to primordial nucleosynthesis calculations

Future developmentsFuture developments
• more models…
• more chemical compositions…
• more photometric filters…
• integrated colours, mass-to-light-ratios
• theoretical high resolution Spectral Energy Distributions…

Integrated spectra
• We are at present working intensively (large part of the work is completed) on computing theoretical integrated spectra (at both low- and high resolution), integrated colours, mass-to-light ratios, for studies of extragalactic stellar populations
Low resolution theoretical spectra of a typical Galactic globular cluster and an old open cluster

Basti & GRID
• Finalising the ‘gridification’ of the code to allow the calculation of new models using the Grid infrastructure
State-of-the-art:
Our evolutionary code is now efficiently running within LINUX platform and we start the preliminary tests needed before a massive use of the Grid infrastructure.
Mid-term projects:We plan to compute in the next few months an extended set of
stellar models for chemical compositions and masses not yet included in the BaSTI archive. We’ll also compute a large set of integrated spectra for stellar populations with complex Star Formation Histories
Long-term project:We wish to allow an “on-line” access to our evolutionary code so
that users can compute their own evolutionary models: the computational work should be performed within a Grid infrastructure

EGEE Added Values
• CPU power:– E-computing lab– Production burst– Efficient CPU usage/sharing
• Data storing/sharing:– Distributed data for distributed
users– Replica and security– Common interface to software and
data
FRANEC simulations are highly computing demanding and produce a huge amount of data.
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688
Proposed Activity
• Run simulations of the FRANEC code on the Grid• Manage Job submission from portal; • Store data on Grid environment;• Share data to Virtual Observatory Community
– Interoperability use case(?)
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688
Proposed Activity
• To allow users to run FRANEC simulation SW we need to create some specific services on EGEE common environment;
• They must be used to run both one or more stellar population runs;
• They are modular and easy to integrate with new code implementations: when some upgrade is needed.

Why EGEE
EGEE infrastructure is stable and efficent;
Need to use job management + data management + metadata management services
