Scientific paper

The authors re-examine the empirical age relation for star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud presented by Elson and Fall (1985), using ages based only on main-sequence turnoffs. The sample includes 57 clusters, 24 of which have color-magnitude diagrams published since 1985. The new calibration is very similar to that found previously, and the scatter in the relation corresponds to uncertainties of about a factor of 2 in age. The age distribution derived from the new calibration does not differ significantly from that derived in earlier work. The authors compare it with age distributions estimated by other authors for different samples of clusters, and discuss the results.
