Abstract
We apply bayesian algorithms to studying the effects of binary stellar population models on the age determination of 46 new star clusters in Gaia DR2. The ages of star clusters are obtained via color-magnitude diagram (CMDs). The data are selected from two works. Our analysis focus on exploring the potential of bayesian algorithm to estimate the effects of binary stars on the parameter determination of star clusters. Our work is based on simple stellar population models of binary stars and single stars. As a result, the bayesian analysis shows that binary stars have significant effects on the determination of ages of star clusters. The models with binary stars report older ages for most star clusters. The age difference between binary-star models and single-star models follows a Gaussian distribution with mean of 1.2 Gyr.
