Abstract: The measurement of stellar ages is critical for understanding the formation and evolution of stars and planets. Stellar associations are particularly important for measuring stellar ages, as they provide large samples of stars with the same age. The Carina association is one of the closest, youngest associations, but estimates of its exact age have ranged from 13Myr to 45 Myr. Unfortunately, the world’s preeminent expert, Dr. S. T. Ellar, has been found murdered in her office before she could publish her work on Carina! Join Dr. Mackenna Wood and a group of intrepid detectives to solve the case and avoid red herrings using several different methods for measuring stellar ages: CMD’s, kinematic traceback, Lithium abundances, and Lithium-Depletion Boundary.
