Isochrones are obtained by mean of a standard interpolation procedure on
the set of tracks. Let \(S(m)\) be the set of tracks, parametrized
by the value of the mass \(m\).
Let \(t_i(m)\) be the evolutionary
time for the ith point on the track of mass \(m\).
Let be \(k\) the point on the track of lower mass of \(S(m)\) for
which \(t_k(m)\) is greater of the time required for the isochrone.
For each point \(j >= k\) on \(S(m)\), an interpolation of mass,
logarithm of the effective temperature and logarithm of the luminosity
is performed among tracks. These points define the required isochrone.
If a set of tracks is supplied by mean of the argument tr
, the
function interpolates among these tracks. The values of
z
, y
, ml
, afe
are recovered from the
supplied objects and a test of consistency is performed to assure that
the tracks are homogeneous in these parameters.
