We present fitting formulae for the zero-age main-sequence radii and luminosities of stars as functions of their masses and metallicities. The formulae cover masses from 0.1 to 100 Mo and metallicities from Z = 0.0001 to 0.03. Within this range the functions are everywhere strictly analytic. They take the form of rational functions in mass with only positive coefficients calculated as polynomials in metallicity. Errors are generally less than 7.5 per cent for luminosity and less than 5 per cent for radius. For a solar metallicity of Z = 0.02 these errors are less than 3 per cent for luminosity and 1.2 per cent for radius. We mimic this by a device which we developed mainly by trial and error. Starting with the absolute zero-age mixture at 0.1 Mo' we 'evolve' up the main sequence with time by adding mass. At each time-step the mass of the model is increased toM' =5~1000M, where M is the current mass, so that the 600th model has mass 100 Mo' The time-step is chosen to be Ilt = 5'KH/(M/M o ), where 'KH is the Kelvin-Helmholtz time-scale. The heat term - TDS/Dt (where T is the temperature and S the entropy) ABSTRACT We present fitting formulae for the zero-age main-sequence radii and luminosities of stars as functions of their masses and metallicities.
