Re: [mesa-users] Color Magnitude Diagram

[Michal S. <mic...@st...>]

I write to warn you about making C-M diagrams using MESA.  Because of the
complexities of stellar atmospheres doing so requires careful attention to the
emergent spectrum.  it is not a black body.  Also, given that, calculating
magnitudes requires careful specification of the filter set.  There are subtle
differences among the observatories.  MESA is great for Rphotosphere
(suitably defined), L and hence Teff.  But for magnitudes I use Baraffe
et al's (2015) work.  Mike Simon
