Simultaneous Bayesian estimation of distances and ages from isochrones: SDSS and solar neighborhood FGK stars

Simultaneous Bayesian estimation of distances and ages from isochrones: SDSS and solar neighborhood FGK stars

By using a procedure based on the Bayesian probability theory we computed reliable and self–consistent estimates of absolute magnitude and age for about 2000 FKG spectral-type stars from SDSS–DR5, ELODIE, and INDO–US surveys, with effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity values homoge...

Zusammenfassung:By using a procedure based on the Bayesian probability theory we computed reliable and self–consistent estimates of absolute magnitude and age for about 2000 FKG spectral-type stars from SDSS–DR5, ELODIE, and INDO–US surveys, with effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity values homogeneously derived.
