The students are given a copy of the HR diagram with evolutionary tracks (file tracks.ps), and 3 data sets (track1 - track3). The tracks on the diagram are labelled with numbers indicating mass in solar masses. Their job is to locate all (T,L) points from datasets on the diagram and to label them with evolutionary times (the times are provided in track* files). File tracks_solution.ps contains the diagram with all points marked on it. The evolutionary times in the data are expressed in years and printed in standard Fortran notation 1.234e+12. I am not sure if the students would understand this writing; perhaps it would be better to express all those times in millions of years.
