Appendix A: How to obtain the tables by file-transfer

The results of this work and of our previous grids (Papers I to VI) are published by Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Centre de Données Stellaires (CDS at Strasbourg) where the corresponding tables are available in electronic form:

http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr. These data can also be obtained from the Geneva Observatory

(contact Corinne. Charbonnel@obs-mip.fr).

An ensemble of models were selected to describe each evolutionary track. For each model the tables display the age, actual mass, log $L/L_\odot$, log $T_{\rm eff}$, the surface abundances in mass fraction of H, ⁴He, ¹²C, ¹³C, ¹⁴N, ¹⁶O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ²⁰Ne, ²²Ne, the core mass fraction Qcc, log$(-\dot{M})$ (where $\dot{M}$ is the mass loss rate on the red giant branch), log $\rho _{\rm c}$ (where $\rho _{\rm c}$ is the central density), log $T_{\rm c}$ (where $T_{\rm c}$ is the central temperature), and the central abundances in mass fraction of the above elements. A detailed description of the models selection and of the tables contents is given in Paper I. We now also provide photometric data in verious systems for all tracks and isochrones (see Schaerer & Lejeune 1998).
