Estimating accurate stellar ages is one of the most difficult
challenges in astrophysics. A star's age cannot be measured
directly, and currently we only know the accurate age for one star:
the Sun. Stellar ages lie at the heart of much of astrophysics. The
accurate determination of timescales for physical processes in the
stars allows us to compare the properties of stars at different
stages in their lives. In IAU Symposium 258 astrophysicists from
around the world discuss the current state of the problem of
estimating ages of stars and stellar populations. They describe
their efforts to better constrain the ages of individual stars and
groups of stars through improved observations and physical models.
IAU S258 highlights where the advances are being made and predicts
what the near future offers.
