Stellar Evolutionary Models: challenges from observations of stellar systems
Abstract
We briefly review some constraints for stellar models in various mass regimes and evolutionary stages as provided by observational data from spectroscopy to multi-wavelenghts photometry. The accuracy of present generation of stellar models can be significantly improved only through an extensive comparison between theory and observations.
