Stellar Ages from Stellar Rotation
Our 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 (color). Until recently, ambiguities in v sin i data and lack of cluster membership information,...
متن کاملStellar ages from asteroseismology
Asteroseismology 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 determine the age and mass of a star from the compa...
متن کاملInferring stellar properties using colours, parallaxes and an HRD prior
Stellar parameters – effective temperature, metallicity, interstellar extinction etc. – are typically estimated from a spectrum or multiband photometry. I outline a probabilistic method for estimating stellar parameters which uses not only the spectral energy distribution but also the apparent magnitude, parallax (if available) and the strong constraints provided by the Hertzsprung–Russell Diag...
متن کاملConsequences of Hipparcos Parallaxes for Stellar Evolutionary Models
Three binary systems in the Hyades open cluster (51 Tau, V818 Tau, and θ2 Tau), with known metallicity and good Johnson photometric data are used to test the validity of three independent sets of stellar evolutionary tracks. A statistical method is described and applied to the colour-magnitude diagram of the six selected components, giving rise to χ2-contours in the metallicity–age plane. The e...
متن کاملHow accurate are your IgE determinations?
for dibucaine-inhibited activity; and y = 1.4x 27 (r = 0.995) for dibucaine number. By the criteria established for the KDA methodology (1), both methods classified five of the seven as normal homozygotes (dibucaine numbers 72-80) and the other two as heterozygotes (dibucaine numbers 50-65). Thus the method we originally developed for the KDA analyzer has been successfully applied to the HA-bOO...
