Abstract

We present new deep VLT color-magnitude diagrams of three intermediate-age populous star clusters in the LMC. These data will be used independently by the Padova and Yale stellar evolution Groups to address issues relevant to the evolution of intermediate-mass stars: mainly the extent of the core convective overshoot, as well as other poorly determined parameters, such as mass loss during stellar evolution, internal rotation, and He content.
