HRD comparing the models presented in the present paper (black lines) and a grid of models computed with PARSEC by Costa & Shepherd (in prep., red lines). We select a few representative initial masses (1.7, 3, 5, 9, 15, 30, 60, 120 M_⊙) for which we show the beginning (circles) and end (crosses) of the core hydrogen (black), helium (green), and carbon (red) burning phases. The other masses are shown with a lower opacity for increased clarity.
