Description

This dataset contains stellar evolution models and asteroseismic frequency calculations for subgiants and giants in the open cluster M67. The models were generated using Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), while the oscillation frequencies were computed with GYRE. The dataset covers stellar tracks with masses ranging from 1.2600 M☉ to 1.4399 M☉.

Data Contents

The dataset includes the following parameters:
