Abstract

In creation time-dilation cosmologies, one major question is this: What maximum apparent age should be used to characterize the universe? In this paper, one particular age indicator is used. My larger plan is to determine estimates of the answer to this question for many age-bearing processes and then to give a reasonable answer to this question. In this case, I am pursuing astrochronology, the precise derivation of stellar ages from the orbital periods of single stars and interacting binaries. Here, I correct the earlier study (Samec and Figg, 2012) and expand the results using a simpler algorithm that applies to many more binaries. I increase the number of binaries in the earlier study from 18 to 124. The only basis for the selection of these systems is that they appear to be undergoing a clear and preferably long, decaying orbit indicative of magnetic braking. This is shown by a negative quadratic term in dP/dt (days/year), where P (days) is the orbital period of the binary. As before, I attempt an age estimate of these solar-type binaries apart from evolutionary time constraints assuming an initial period at the creation (or formation) of the binary (here, 5–20 days). This time a simpler kinematic approach is taken to extend the number of systems surveyed.
