A comparison between different diagnostics of the age of stellar clusters. The study: “The Gaia-ESO survey: a lithium depletion boundary age for NGC 2232” of A. S. Binks (Keele University) recently appeared on MNRAS
Measuring stellar ages is a difficult task but nevertheless very important. For instance, the study of stellar evolution requires accurate estimate of stellar ages. On the other hand, we can count on very few diagnostics that can allow astronomers to obtain reliable estimate of stellar ages, and typically these methods can be applied only to specific type of stars or
