Abstract

Reliable stellar age estimates are fundamental for testing several problems in modern astrophysics, in particular since they set the timescales of Galactic dynamical and chemical evolution. In this study, we determine ages using only Gaia DR3 photometry and parallaxes, in combination with interstellar extinction maps, and spectroscopic metallicities and abundances from the latest data release (DR8) of the LAMOST survey. In contrast with previous age estimates, we do not use spectroscopic effective temperatures or surface gravities, and thus we rely on the excellent precision and accuracy of the Gaia photometry. We use a new version of the publicly available SPInS code with improved features, including the on-the-fly computation of the autocorrelation time and the automatic convergence evaluation. We determine reliable age estimates for 35096 and 243768 sub-giant and main-sequence turn-off stars in the LAMOST DR8 low- and medium-resolution surveys with typical uncertainties smaller than 10%. In addition, we successfully test our method on more than 4000 stars of 14 well-studied open and globular star clusters covering a wide range of ages, confirming the reliability of our age and uncertainty estimates.
