Abstract

On the basis of the relationship between the age and the magnitude of the maximal flare amplitude in flare stars found previously by the author we propose a method of determining the age of aggregates. Using new observational data relative to flares in U and B we determine the age of the Cyg T1 association (3.4 · 106 years), which differs only slightly from an earlier estimate. We give estimated upper bounds for the ages of some flare stars in the solar neighborhood: UV Ceti, EV Lac, AD Leo, EG Peg, and YZ CMi, and also for seven flare stars of the galactic field. It follows from these results that the ages vary noticeably.
