M67-1194 Sun diff (Å)
Excitation of Fe I + H => 5780 ± 20 K • Fe I/Fe II + MgIb => log g = 4.44 ± 0.05 (cgs) • t = 0.95 km/s • [Fe/H] = 0.023 ± 0.015
Age • Isochrones (Teffvs log g) by VandenBerg (2010): 4.2 ± 0.3 Gyr If Y is different by 0.01 => 0.2 Gyr • C.f. photometry, Yadav et al. (2008): 3.5 - 4.8 Gyr
+ Meléndez et al. (2009) • M67-1194
+ Meléndez et al. (2009) • M67-1194 < 6% chance!
