A grid of values for the moment of inertia and the potential energy of hydrogen-burning stars are presented, as derived from evolutionary models computed with updated input physics and opacities. A range from 1.0 to 25 solar masses is covered using a standard chemical composition (X, Z) = (0.70, 0.02) together with a value of 2.0 for the mixing-length ratio. Values of the gyration radius and the potential energy of each individual configuration are tabulated in a format suitable for the use in dynamical studies of binary stars. A comparison with previous computations, which adopted very simplified structures, as well as variations with respect to mass, age and chemical composition, are discussed in some detail.
