Analysis of F and G Subdwarfs. I. The Location of Subdwarfs in the Theoretical H-R Diagram

Abstract

Spectrum scans and model stellar atmospheres have been used to locate in the (L/L_⊙, T_(eff)) plane F and G subdwarfs having known parallax A comparison is made between their position on the H-R diagram and the evolutionary tracks for Population II models of low- and high-helium content recently computed by Faulkner and Iben. The lower helium-content models are found to give somewhat more plausible ages than the high-helium models. Nevertheless, for both the low- and high-helium-content models, we find several subdwarfs with ages apparently greater than 10 X 10^9 years
