From spectroscopic abundances to evolutionary [$α$/Fe] in stellar models

Large-scale, high-resolution spectroscopic surveys map detailed chemical abundance patterns for millions of stars.

Large-scale, high-resolution spectroscopic surveys map detailed chemical abundance patterns for millions of stars. However, libraries of stellar evolution models and isochrones still rely on a simplified description of chemical abundances, generally assuming either solar-scaled…
