... We want to know time-scales, and sequences of events, and the ages of stars. ... We would, ideally, like to create a solar comparison sample by finding stars of essentially the same mass, composition, and age and then observing the range of behavior they exhibit. ... At best we can estimate a star 's age. ... Having to construct models that work consistently across a broad range of masses constrains the problem, and yet even for the nearest open clusters we do not know the age to even 10%. ...

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...
