Estimates of the kinematic age of the $\beta$ Pictoris moving group from up-to-date data
Vadim Bobylev, Anisa Bajkova

TL;DR
This paper estimates the age of the $eta$ Pictoris moving group using kinematic data and two different methods, resulting in age estimates of approximately 13.2 and 20 million years, highlighting the group's expansion and trajectory history.
Contribution
The study provides updated kinematic age estimates of the $eta$ Pictoris moving group using new data and two distinct methods, including traceback and expansion analysis.
Findings
Estimated age from traceback: 13.2 ± 1.4 Myr.
Estimated age from expansion: 20 ± 2 Myr.
Detected expansion in the Galactic plane.
Abstract
The kinematics of about 40 single stars belonging to the Pictoris moving group is studied. The age of the Pictoris moving group is estimated from these stars with ground-based line-of-sight velocity determinations by two methods. Both estimates are kinematic. In the first method we considered the traceback trajectories of the stars, giving an estimate of Myr. In the second method, by analyzing the instantaneous velocities of the stars, we show that there is an expansion of the stellar system occurring in the Galactic plane. Based on this effect, we find the time interval elapsed from the beginning of the expansion of the Pictoris moving group to the present day, Myr.
