Abstract
We present analytic formulae that approximate the evolution of stars for a wide range of mass and metallicity. Stellar luminosity, radius and core mass are given as a function of age, M and Z, for all phases from the zero-age main-sequence up to, and including, the remnant stages. For the most part we find continuous formulae accurate to within 5% of detailed models. These formulae are useful for purposes such as population synthesis that require very rapid but accurate evaluation of stellar properties, and in particular for use in combination with N-body codes. We describe a mass loss prescription that can be used with these formulae and investigate the resulting stellar remnant distribution.
