Scientific paper

Making use of a relation proposed by Wielen (1977), a new empirical relation between Ca II emission flux and stellar age is derived by analyzing Wilson and Woolley's spectroscopic data (1970) of late type main sequence stars (K0-M5) and kinematic properties of those stars given by Gliese (1969). The proposed relation shows that the emission flux excess of the Ca II H-K lines, introduced by Linsky et al. (1979) decreases with stellar age τ as τ-0.51, consistent with the inverse square law as noted by Skumanich (1972).
