Scientific paper
I briefly introduce a database of models that describe the evolution of star clusters in several broad-band photometric systems. Models are based on the latest Padova stellar evolutionary tracks - now including the alpha-enhanced case and improved AGB models - and a revised library of synthetic spectra from model atmospheres. As of today, we have revised isochrones in Johnson-Cousins-Glass, HST/WFPC2, HST/NICMOS, Thuan-Gunn, and Washington systems. Several other filter sets are included in a preliminary way, like those used by the EIS and SDSS projects. The database contains also integrated magnitudes of single-burst stellar populations and Monte-Carlo simulations that show the stochastic dispersion of the colours as a function of cluster mass, age, and metallicity. The models are useful for several kinds of studies, including estimates of masses and ages of extragalactic star clusters observed by means of broad-band photometry.
