Mass loss in a narrow-temperature region lowers the luminosity of a clusters turnoff, making it look older. The effect of a mass loss rate of 10−11 M⊙/yr centered at 6,500 K is compared to non-mass-losing models. The 12-Gyr isochrone of a mass-losing model has the same luminosity as a 15-Gyr standard model.
