Notes. 

(a)

Padova isochrone with solar metallicity for m > 4   M (Marigo et al. 2008).

(b)

Pre-main sequence parts of the isochrones (m ≤ 4   M) are derived from Pisa-FRANEC PMS stellar models (Degl’Innocenti et al. 2008; see Gennaro et al. 2011, for the combination with the Padova isochrones).

(c)

Geneva isochrone with solar metallicity and enhanced mass loss for high mass stars, M > 15   M (Lejeune & Schaerer 2001).
