Abstract
AbstractThe effects of Coulomb corrections on the evolution of globular clusters stars are discussed. Coulomb corrections alter the equation of state by about 1% in most of the stellar interior, and for stars of fixed initial parameters, this results in an 8% increase in the ZAMS luminosity and an 8% decrease in the age at the main sequence turnoff. Ages for globular clusters measured by comparing to the turnoff luminosity of theoretical isochrones are lowered by ≈ 4% when Coulomb effects are included.
