Stellar Ages: A Code to Infer Properties of Stellar Populations
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a novel statistical algorithm, Stellar Ages, which currently infers the age, metallicity, and extinction posterior distributions of stellar populations from their magnitudes.

The Stellar Ages of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1995 Integrated broad-band colors and metallic lines cannot discriminate clearly between the effects of age and Z in old stellar populations. Such data are more sensitive to Z than to age. The Hβ feature provides a way to break this degeneracy. New measurements indicate that the mean stellar ages of typical E galaxy nuclei are fairly young, ranging from 2 ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The ages of solar-like stars have been at the center of many studies such as exoplanet characterization or Galactic-archeology. While ages are usually computed from stellar evolution models, relations linking ages to other stellar properties, such as ...

Disentangling Stellar Age Estimates from Galactic Chemodynamical Evolution
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Stellar ages are key for determining the formation history of the Milky Way, but are difficult to measure precisely. Furthermore, methods that use chemical abundances to infer ages may entangle the intrinsic evolution of stars with the chemodynamical ...

Stellar ages from stellar rotation [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 AbstractOur ability to determine stellar ages from measurements of stellar rotation, hinges on how well we can measure the dependence of rotation on age for stars of different masses. Rotation periods for stars in open clusters are essential to determine the relations between stellar age, rotation, and mass.

Stellar ages from asteroseismology [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 AbstractAsteroseismology has been recognized for a long time as a very powerful mean to probe stellar interiors. The oscillations frequencies are closely related to stellar internal structure properties via the density and the sound speed profiles. Since these properties are in turn tightly linked with the mass and evolutionary state, we can expect to ...

Cosmological Constant from Boundary Condition and Its Implications beyond the Standard Model
Universe, 2023 Standard cosmology has long been plagued by a number of persistent problems. The origin of the apparent acceleration of the cosmic expansion remains enigmatic.

Living with a Red Dwarf: X-Ray, UV, and Ca ii Activity–Age Relationships of M Dwarfs
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The vast majority of stars in the nearby stellar neighborhood are M dwarfs. Their low masses and luminosities result in slow rates of nuclear evolution and minimal changes to the stars’ observable properties, even along astronomical timescales.

The Abundance of S-Process Elements: Temporal and Spatial Trends from Open Cluster Observations
Universe, 2022 Spectroscopic observations of stars belonging to open clusters, with well-determined ages and distances, are a unique tool for constraining stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, mixing processes, and, ultimately, Galactic chemical evolution.
