Abstract
This study spins off the previously funded project from the Creation Research Society (CRS) entitled "The Apparent Age of the Time Dilated Universe: Gyrochronology, Magnetic Orbital Decay of Close Solar-Type Binaries" and the CRS undergraduate research initiative, allowing undergraduate mentors and their research students to request research grants from the society research committee. Our project involves answering the creation time-dilation cosmology question, "What maximum apparent age should be used to characterize the universe?" The basis for this part of the study centers on eclipsing binaries undergoing a clearly decaying orbit indicative of magnetic braking. This gives dP/dt (days/year) term where P (days) is the orbital period of the binary. From this, and the initial period of the binary, a decay age estimate is possible. Systems included in this study include eight recently analyzed by students, include the binary systems, V1695 Aquilae, NSVS 1083189, NSVS 10541123, V530 Andromedae, NSVS 5066754, FF Vulpeculae, GSC 3208 1986, V573 Pegasi, V1187 Herculis, GQ Cancri, and MT Camelopardalis. In addition, evidence of binary star coalescence into single stars and the subsequent and violent production of red novae will be reviewed. Young Earth Creation implications will be explored.
