Notes. The studies on the rotation–activity relationship whose sample number Nstar>100. The column Ract,sat indicate the activity values in the saturation regime for different proxies. Parameters of this study are mean values of F-,G-,K-,M-type stars. Parameters derived by global τc for Rflare (Yang & Liu 2019) and R HK + $ R^{+}_{\mathrm {HK}} $ (Mittag et al. 2018), RX (Wright et al. 2011) and RHα (Douglas et al. 2014; Newton et al. 2017) were fit by the emcee method used in this study, see Appendix C for details. The sample of Lehtinen et al. (2020) is lack of fast rotators, which may lead to a biased β. The sample of Soderblom et al. (1993) is from open cluster the Pleiades (tage∼125 Myr). The sample of Douglas et al. (2014) is from open cluster the Praesepe and the Hyades (tage∼750 Myr). The sample of Jackson & Jeffries (2010) is from open cluster NGC2516 (tage∼150 Myr). Parameters derived by local τc for X-ray are from Wright et al. (2018), which includes fully convective stars. About 45% stars of Wright et al. (2011) are from open clusters whose ages are from 40 Myr to 700 Myr.
