Caption: Figure 1.

Activity cycle period as a function of chromospheric activity level (a proxy for stellar age) for stars in the California Legacy Survey (H. Isaacson et al. 2024, 2025). Points are colored by spectral type as indicated in the legend, and the point size indicates the relative cycle amplitude. The activity levels of several flat-activity stars are shown with arrows along the top.
