Empirical gyrochronology models overestimate stellar ages around 1.3 Gyr due to lack of training data. Left: the percent difference between gyro-interp-derived ages for our benchmark sample of NGC-752 rotators and the adopted cluster age. Right: the same as the left panel but with ChronoFlow-derived ages. An age difference of 50% on this plot indicates the model overestimates the star’s age by 50%. Current gyrochronology models tend to overestimate stellar ages around our adopted age of ≃1.3 Gyr due to the previous lack of a viable calibration cluster, create Teff-dependent systematics, and reduce overall precision.
