Uncovering the Evolution of Stars

A group of astrophysicists from the University of Vienna led by Núria Miret-Roig discovered that two approaches to estimating a star’s age measure distinct things: Thus, isochronous measurement establishes the star’s birthdate, whereas dynamical monitoring informs when stars in the examined star clusters “leave their nest,” or roughly 5.5 million years later.
