MLR, derivative of MLR, and LF from the PARSEC models in five snapshots. Top panels: MLR from the PARSEC model, as mass vs. M_G. Middle panels: absolute value of the derivative | d log m/dM_G |. Bottom panels: luminosity functions from the PARSEC model. Each column is taken from a snapshot at a different time (indicated at the top) of the simulated population. In each panel the position of the H-peak is indicated by a vertical solid line, and the location of the Wielen dip by a vertical dot-dashed line.
