In my last publication in this section, I have introduced the concept/technique of Gyrochronology or how to date stars using their rotational periods. Gyrochronology is a technique with some weaknesses and recently put in doubt for aging old stars. But also has some... by Dr. Andres Moya Bedon | Feb 7, 2019 | Results

One of the most widely used technique for stellar dating is the so-called Gyrochronology, where the stellar rotation breaking with time is used to estimate the age of the stars. This technique is now under revision due to recent discoveries showing that, from a...
