Abstract

Using a simple model of low-mass stellar objects we have shown modified gravity impact on their early evolution, such as Hayashi tracks, radiative core development, effective temperature, masses, and luminosities. We have also suggested that the upper mass' limit of fully convective stars on the main sequence might be different than commonly adopted.
