Since dynamo models are based on the interaction between differential rotation and convective motions, the introduction of rotation in the ATON 2.3 stellar evolutionary code allows for explorations regarding a physically consistent treatment of magnetic effects in stellar structure and evolution, even though there are formidable mathematical and numerical challenges involved. Description: These data present pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks, including local and global convective turnover times and Rossby numbers, for 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 solar masses. The tracks were generated with a modified version of D'Antona & Mazzitelli's code (the ATON code, Ventura et al., 1998A&A...334..953V) which take into account stellar rotation (Mendes et al., 1999A&A...341..174M). All models were computed with solar metallicity (Z=0.0175, Y=0.27) and alpha=1.5 (mixing length theory parameter).
