Scientific paper

A description is given of the evolutionary program used for calculating the evolution of helium stars in the mass range 2.0 to 4.0 M_sun; from the helium Zero Age main sequence up to neon ignition (Habets, 1986). The physics involved is summarized with special emphasis on the equation of state. The evolutionary sequences are given in a tabular form. The diffusion equation used to treat convective mixing and the interior structure in the evolved stages are discussed (in appendices). A new three-point difference equation (given in an appendix) is used to overcome numerical instabilities during carbon burning.
