"Open clusters offer a unique laboratory to trace the evolution of stellar rotation, magnetic activity, and chemical abundances, revealing the physics of angular momentum loss, dynamo action, and chemical evolution across stellar lifetimes."
Key Session Topics
Rotational Evolution
Exploring mass- and age-dependent spin-down, gyrochronology models, and the role of magnetic braking in stellar age calibration
Stellar Magnetic Activity
Understanding chromospheric and coronal emission evolution through high-resolution spectroscopic surveys
Chemical Abundances
Lithium depletion, [C/N] ratios, and [Y/Mg] as probes of stellar mixing, evolution, and Galactic chemical enrichment
Asteroseismology
Leveraging seismic constraints from Kepler, TESS, and future PLATO observations to calibrate stellar ages and internal structures
