How accurate are stellar ages based on stellar models? II. The impact of asteroseismology

Yveline Lebreton, Marie-Jo Goupil, J. Montalban

Published 2014-10-20Version 1

Accurate and precise stellar ages are best determined for stars which are strongly observationally constrained, that is which are intrinsically oscillating. We review here the seismic diagnostics which are sensitive to stellar ages and provide some illustrating examples of seismically age-dated stars.
