As quantities to be reproduced, we have con-sidered "#1, "ν, νmax, the effective temperature de-termined from interferometry, and the spectroscopicsurface abundance.

HD 185351

Mass (M⊙) 1.58+0.04−0.02

Radius (R⊙) 4.92+0.15−0.07

Age (Gyr) 2.32+0.04−0.07

log g 3.25+0.01−0.02

excellent agreement between the interferometric radius and the as-teroseismically determined one. The small uncertainties in massand age obtained from the fit are a reflection of the high precisionin the J14 period spacing measurement (at the 0.2 per cent level) aswell as the almost perpendicular location of the "# constraint bandwith respect to the other asteroseismic observables (as depicted inFigs 2 and 7). Combining these observables effectively breaks themass degeneracy and allows a much more precise determination ofstellar properties. We note however that these uncertainties do notinclude systematics in the observed asteroseismic values nor themodel input physics, and a thorough analysis of these ingredientswill be addressed in a subsequent study.

This best-fitting model suggests a mixing-length value larger thanthe solar-calibrated value. This result is in line with those from 3Dsimulations of stellar atmospheres where there is a dependence onevolutionary stage and metallicity of the convective efficiency (seeTrampedach et al. 2014; Magic et al. 2015). The overshooting ef-ficiency parameter f = 0.030 almost doubles the calibrated valuedetermined by CMD-fitting of M67, where convective overshoot-ing is included to reproduce the hook at the MS turn-off (Magicet al. 2010). The masses of M67 stars in this evolutionary stateis ∼1.2 M⊙, and it is therefore not surprising that a larger efficiencyparameter value is found for higher mass stars. Given the exponen-tial nature of the overshoot prescription included in GARSTEC (seeequation 8), the net effect of doubling the overshoot efficiency fora 1.6 M⊙ model is very mild, increasing the maximum convectivecore size from m/M = 0.09 to 0.105.

Convective core size determination is possible in MS stars us-ing asteroseismology (Silva Aguirre et al. 2011, 2013; Deheuvels

et al. 2016), and these results suggest the need of an increasing over-shooting efficiency as a function of stellar mass. However, solar-likeoscillations are detected in very few 1.6M⊙ MS stars, making low-luminosity redgiants such as HD 185351 an exciting resource toaccurately calibrate the overshooting efficiency.

6 C O N C L U S I O N S

In this work, we have shown that variations in the input of the the-oretical models can reconcile the discrepancies between interfero-metric and asteroseismic radius. This has been done using GARSTEC

to compute evolutionary tracks with different input physics – vari-ations in metallicity, alternate values of the mixing-length param-eter, and the inclusion of overshooting from convective regions. Ithas been found that a model with [Fe/H] = 0.16 dex, f = 0.030,αMLT = 2.00, and a stellar mass of M ≃ 1.60 M⊙ can reproduceall available observations. Furthermore, the inclusion of convectiveovershooting is found to be crucial in order to match the periodspacing constraint with the other parameter constraints in the mod-els. By analysing stars in a similar evolutionary state as HD 185351with a wide range in mass it would be possible to calibrate theamount of extra mixing in the core during the MS phase. Such acalibration would allow for an easy and accurate mass estimationfrom measurements of "ν and "#1.

We have shown that the systematic errors in the input physics ofthe adopted models can have a significant effect on the masses andthus need to be considered when estimating systematic errors. Themodel-dependent input physics, which reconcile all observablesby varying the convective core overshooting and mixing-lengthparameter, suggests a mass of ≃1.60 M⊙. Thus, the conclusionthat HD 185351 is a retired A star with a mass in excess of 1.5 M⊙still holds.

where N and r are the Brunt–Väisälä frequency and radialcoordinate, respectively. The integration is performed over theradiative interior. Since N is weighted with r−1 in the integral,ΔP1 is very sensitive to the Brunt–Väisälä frequency profile in thecore. Hence, the measurement ofΔP1 offers a unique opportunityto constrain the uncertain aspects of the physical processes takingplace in stellar cores. As an example, Degroote et al. (2010) usedthe measurement of the period spacing for the star HD 50230observed using the CoRoT satellite to constrain the mixing in its

core (see also, Montalbán et al. 2013). Figure 8 illustrates theevolution of models in theΔν0–ΔP1 diagram (evolution proceedsfrom right to left). This is an interesting diagram because Δν0contains mostly information about the envelope, whereas ΔP1contains mostly information about the core. The hook-like featureon the right (beyond the displayed range for M=1.0 Me and1.5Me) corresponds to the base of the RGB. The sudden jump atthe lowestΔν0 forM=1.0Me, 1.5Me, and 2.0Me is due to thehelium flash, which causes the stellar structure to change rapidlyin a short period of time. This diagram has been used successfullyto distinguish the shell hydrogen-burning red giant stars withthose that are fusing helium in the core along with the hydrogen inthe shell (e.g., Bedding et al. 2011; Mosser et al. 2011).

5. Comparisons with Existing Model Databases

This section is devoted to comparisons of our isochroneswith recent, widely employed isochrone and stellar modeldatabases. The goal is to give a general picture of how our newcalculations compare to recent, popular models. The modelgrids shown in our comparisons are computed by employingvarious different choices for the input physics and treatment ofmixing, and the reference solar metal distribution can also bedifferent (see Tables 7 and 8 for a summary). We showcomparisons in the HRD o bypass the additional degree offreedom introduced by the choice of BCs.We start first with a comparison with our previous BaSTI

computations (Pietrinferni et al. 2004), displayed in Figure 9. Weshow our new isochrones for [Fe/H]=0.06 and [Fe/H]=−1.55, and ages equal to 30Myr, 100Myr, 1 Gyr, 3 Gyr, 5 Gyr,and 12Gyr, respectively, compared to the older BaSTI release forthe same ages, [Fe/H]=0.06 and [Fe/H]=−1.49 (themetallicity grid point closest to [Fe/H]=−1.55 in the olderrelease) and η=0.4. We consider here our new isochroneswithout diffusion, because the older model grid was calculated byignoring the atomic diffusion (we are using our set b) of themodels as described in Table 3. Core overshooting during the MSis included in both sets of isochrones. Notice that the total metalmass fraction Z is lower in the new isochrones, due to the differentsolar heavy element distribution.

Figure 4. Left: CMD of Hyades stars, with parameters adopted from Stern et al. (1995). The colour of the GARSTEC plotted isochrones indicates age; full-lineisochrones have [Fe/H] = 0.2, while dashed-lined ones have [Fe/H] = 0.15. For all isochrones we adopted for this plot a distance modulus of (m − M) = 3.25.We adopted E(B − V) = 0.003 ± 0.002 (Taylor 1980) and RV ≡ AV/E(B − V) = 3.1 to de-redden the values from Stern et al. (1995). The two stars analysed inthis work are given by the red markers, here using updated colours from Joner et al. (2006). Right: χ2 surfaces for CMD fits to stars with V < 11 (left panel)and 6 < V < 11 (right panel) as a function of age and distance modulus, going from high χ2-values in dark blue to low values in light blue. For both casesshown [Fe/H] = 0.2.

not remove the bias completely. The second reason for the bias ismore fundamental, and has to do with the fact that on the MS, starswithin a small metallicity range can have many different ages for agiven range of temperature and luminosity (or in the asteroseismiccontext a given range of νmax). In other words, isochrones of manydifferent ages can pass through the error-box. As described above,evolutionary speed makes it much more likely to encounter an olderthan a younger star, and therefore the results of any GBM willhave a fundamental bias towards higher ages if no prior on ageis adopted. Fig. B1 shows this clearly. The bias can be reduced ifeffective temperature and metallicity can be measured to a muchbetter precision. In the case of clusters, having data on more starsin different evolutionary phases of course helps greatly becausewe can apply the condition that all stars must have the same age,which is essentially the assumption made in determining ages byfitting isochrones to cluster CMDs. There are also other factorsto note. The two stars here are different from many of the starsanalysed for asteroseismology in Kepler, in terms of being relativelyhot, massive, young, and rapidly rotating. This of course raises thequestion of whether assumptions made regarding the mapping of theaverage asteroseismic parameters to stellar properties are incorrectfor these stars? The results suggest there is not a significant bias.First, the relationship of #ν to νmax follows that shown by theasteroseismic cohort of Kepler stars. We also examined the potentialimpact of rotational mixing on #ν, which is unaccounted for in themodels we used, by looking at differences in stellar MESA models(Paxton et al. 2011) with and without convective core overshoot.We found no appreciable change in #ν from varying the amount ofovershoot, which conforms with the results reported by Eggenbergeret al. (2010) who studied the effect of adding rotational mixing toa 1M⊙ model. We therefore adopt the assumption that the modelvalues of #ν and νmax are representative of what would be found forslowly rotating stars. We also remind the reader that in Section 4.1it was found that rotation should not affect our ability to extract agood estimate of #ν.

The above of course also goes to the issue of the physics used inour stellar models. Might missing physics be a cause of the bias? Theobvious question we can answer in relation to this is whether, when

we use our adopted models, we are able to recover the canonical ageestimate when presented with the usual observational CMD data asinput (i.e. colours and an assumed distance modulus and metallic-ity as input). As discussed above (Fig. 4), we have demonstratedthat when BeSPP is coupled to GARSTEC, we recover a satisfac-tory age. That does not of course say that the physics is indeedcorrect.

Recently, Brandt & Huang (2015a,b,c) performed an isochroneanalysis which included rotation via the models of Ekstrom et al.(2012) and Georgy et al. (2013). By adding rotation, which inthe adopted models had the effect of lengthening the MS lifetime,these authors find a slightly higher age than the consensus, namely,t ∼ 750 ± 100 Myr. This result rests on the same handful of upperMS (M > 1.7M⊙) turn-off stars that guided the isochrone fittingsby Perryman et al. (1998).

4.4 Distances

With the seismic solution for the stellar radii and an angular diameterfrom the IRFM, we can estimate the seismic distance to the clusteras follows:

dseis = C2Rseis

θIRFM, (1)

where C is a conversion factor to parsec (see Silva Aguirreet al. 2012; Rodrigues et al. 2014). We find seismic distances ofdseis = 46.9 ± 1.5 pc (E167) and dseis = 45.2 ± 1.6 pc (E243).In Fig. 5 we compare these to the distances derived from trigono-metric parallaxes from Hipparcos by van Leeuwen (2007) (Hip07),van Leeuwen et al. (1997) (Hip97), those from de Bruijne et al.(2001) using secular parallaxes from Tycho-2 (Høg et al. 2000)(deBTyc) or Hipparcos (van Leeuwen et al. 1997) (deBHip), andthose from Madsen et al. (2002) using secular parallaxes as above(MadTyc/MadHip). We find that all parallax distances for E243match the seismic ones reasonably well; for E167 all distancesare > 1σ larger than the seismic ones.
