**Authors:** Earl Patrick Bellinger

arXiv: 1903.03110 · 2019-05-07

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a new seismic scaling relation that accurately estimates the ages of main-sequence stars using asteroseismic and spectroscopic data, improving upon classical methods.

## Contribution

It presents a novel seismic scaling relation for stellar age and improved relations for mass and radius, including a temperature-independent radius estimate.

## Key findings

- The new relations outperform classical scaling relations.
- Seismic radius scaling relation performs similarly to grid-based modeling.
- Improved accuracy in stellar age estimation.

## Abstract

A simple solar scaling relation for estimating the ages of main-sequence stars from asteroseismic and spectroscopic data is developed. New seismic scaling relations for estimating mass and radius are presented as well, including a purely seismic radius scaling relation (i.e., no dependence on temperature). The relations show substantial improvement over the classical scaling relations and perform similarly well to grid-based modeling.
