Age analysis of extrasolar planets: Insight from stellar isochrone models

There is growing evidence from stellar kinematics and galactic chemical evolution (GCE) suggesting that giant planets (M_{P}\geq0.3M_{J}) are relatively young compared to the most commonly occurring population of small planets (M_{P} <0.3M_{J}). To further test the validity of these results, we analyzed the ages for a large number of 2336... Show more
