Notes.

For each star, we list the most probable age and [Fe/H] (highest point in the 𝒢 function), the offset of these values from the literature values, and also the maximum and minimum values for each parameter within the 90% confidence interval (“90% Age Range”, see Sect. 4.1). The 𝒢 function for 61 Cyg B produced no solution, see text for more details.

This value is at the edge of the isochrone grid and so is likely unreliable.
