Abstract

Models of low-mass stars on the Main Sequence have been constructed with the help of new molecular opacities. It is found that, in spite of the differences between the new and old molecular opacities, the models are virtually unchanged. This circumstance permits more easily the assessment of the importance of other aspects of the physics, such as equation of state and energy generation, used in the modelling.
