Abstract
We consider here a sequence of chemically homogeneous models in complete (mechanical and thermal) equilibrium with central hydrogen burning. All of them are composed of the same hydrogen-rich mixture, while the stellar mass M varies from model to model along the sequence.

Notes
- 1.
Note that we will also use the notation X, Y , and Z for the mass fractions of hydrogen, helium, and the sum of all remaining elements, commonly labelled “metals”, as is the case in the astrophysical literature.
