Abstract:
    While MLT-alpha2D models are not available for lower metallicities,
    we extend to lower Z the NEMO-FST models, under the hypothesis that in
    such a way we are simulating the results of MLT-alpha2D models also
    at smaller Z.
    We use standard stellar computation techniques in which the
    atmospheric boundary conditions are derived making use of model
    atmosphere grids. This allows us to take into account the non greyness
    of the atmosphere, but adds a new parameter to the stellar structure
    uncertainty, namely the efficiency of convection in the atmospheric
    structure, if convection is computed in the atmospheric grid by a
    model different to the model adopted for the interior integration.
Description:
    We present pre-main-sequence (PMS) models for low mass stars from 
    0.1 to 1.5M_☉ for metallicities [Fe/H]=-0.5, -1.0 and -2.0.
    The calculations include the most recent interior physics and the
    latest generation of non-grey atmosphere models. At fixed luminosity
    more metal poor isochrones are hotter than solar ones by
    ΔlogTeff/ΔlogZ∼0.03-0.05 in the range in Z from 0.02 
    to 0.0002 and for ages from 105 to 107yr.
