The revision of the MASS/DIMM star catalogue N. Shatsky, V. Kornilov March 16, 2008 Abstract The compilation of the (updated) version of the MASS (MASS/DIMM) device target catalogue is described. ... Then the list was cleaned according to following criteria: I. Remove stars too faint for a MASS device. ... Here the color equation of the Sternb erg device was taken: M AS S mag = V mag + 0.45 (B - V ); stars with M AS S mag > 3.2 were removed. ... This was made based on the GCVS4.2 catalogue data. ...

... 1) The MS lower envelopes for groups of stars with different metallicities turn out to be coincident. ... 4) The conformation of the kinematics of stars within narrow ranges ob b-y with the ages derived from isohrones reveals that, at Z < Z , the isohrone ages seem to be increasingly overestimated with growing b-y . ... At a given metallicity, they have a much narrower MS and the locus of their MS lower envelope seems to be brighter for the metal-rich group of stars. ...
