2604.01062 ZAMS Temperature Discrepancies: Deconstructing Model Offsets in MIST, PARSEC, and BaSTI
We benchmark MIST v1.2, PARSEC v1.
We benchmark MIST v1.2, PARSEC v1.
We correct previous physical errors and present a rigorously calibrated comparison of MIST, Padova, and BaSTI-IAC at the Solar point. We find residual $T_{eff}$ biases of <50K that translate to significant age uncertainties in Galactic archaeology.
