The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper assembles an initial catalog of stellar ages drawn from existing literature for stars that the Habitable Worlds Observatory is expected to observe. Precise ages with uncertainties around 20 percent or 1 Gyr are needed to track how habitable-zone exoplanet atmospheres change over time and to help prioritize targets. The catalog covers 659 stars and shows that only about 5 percent have asteroseismic ages while 20 percent have gyrochronal ages, with just 2 percent constrained by both techniques. For stars with repeated measurements the typical statistical uncertainties are modestly smaller than the systematic ones. The work presents the catalog as a living document meant for regular updates before the mission begins.

What carries the argument

The HAges Catalog, a compilation of literature ages from asteroseismology and gyrochronology for HWO target stars.

What would settle it

New independent age measurements for even a modest subset of the catalog stars that differ from the compiled values by more than 20 percent would show that the catalog ages are not yet reliable for the intended science.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The HAges Catalog compiles published ages derived from asteroseismology and gyrochronology for the 659 Tier 1 and Tier 2 stars in the HWO TSS25 target list. Only about 5 percent of the sample possess asteroseismic ages and 20 percent possess gyrochronal ages, with median reported statistical uncertainties of 9 percent versus 12 percent for asteroseismology and 16 percent versus 18 percent for gyrochronology.

Load-bearing premise

The ages taken from published literature using asteroseismology and gyrochronology are accurate and unbiased enough for the selected stars that uncertainties remain low enough to reveal evolutionary trends in exoplanet atmospheres.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • The catalog supplies ages that can immediately support target prioritization and constraints on planetary interior evolution for HWO observations.
  • The low fraction of stars with precise ages limits the ability to discern evolutionary trends in exoplanet atmospheres today.
  • Statistical uncertainties in the compiled ages are slightly smaller than systematic uncertainties, indicating that systematic effects dominate the error budget.
  • Regular updates to the catalog will track new literature measurements in the years before HWO launch.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Extending the same literature-compilation approach to additional age indicators such as isochrone fitting could raise the fraction of stars with usable ages.
  • Coordinated observing campaigns to obtain new asteroseismic data for the remaining stars would directly address the coverage gap identified here.
  • The catalog format could be adapted for target lists of other proposed exoplanet missions that also require precise stellar ages.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript presents the HAges catalog compiling published literature ages from asteroseismology and gyrochronology for 659 Tier 1 and Tier 2 stars drawn from the HWO TSS25 target list. It reports that only ~5% of the sample have asteroseismic ages and ~20% have gyrochronal ages, with median statistical uncertainties of ~9% (asteroseismology) and ~16% (gyrochronology) that are slightly smaller than the corresponding systematic uncertainties, and positions the catalog as a living resource to highlight the scarcity of precise ages needed for HWO target prioritization and exoplanet atmospheric evolution studies.

Significance. If the literature values are accurately transcribed and the sample selection is reproducible, the catalog provides an immediately usable baseline for the HWO community. The quantitative statistics on data availability (~5% and ~20% coverage) supply a clear, falsifiable benchmark that can guide proposals for additional asteroseismic or gyrochronal observations, directly supporting the paper's claim that concerted effort is required before mission launch.

major comments (2)
  1. [§2] §2 (sample construction): The exact cross-matching procedure and any quality cuts applied to arrive at the final 659 stars from the TSS25 list are not specified; this is load-bearing for reproducibility because the central scarcity statistics depend on which stars were included or excluded.
  2. [§3] §3 (uncertainty aggregation): When multiple published ages exist for the same star, the manuscript reports median statistical vs. systematic uncertainties but does not state the aggregation rule (e.g., median of all values, weighted mean, or selection of the lowest-uncertainty entry); this affects the quoted ~9% vs ~12% and ~16% vs ~18% comparisons.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: the phrase 'can achieve ~20% precision for the majority of these stars' refers to the methods in general rather than the current sample coverage; a brief clarification would avoid reader confusion with the reported 5%/20% fractions.
  2. [Introduction] References: the TSS25 list definition and any prior HWO target papers should be cited explicitly in the introduction to allow readers to trace the parent sample.

We thank the referee for their constructive comments and recommendation for minor revision. We address the two major comments point by point below and will revise the manuscript to enhance reproducibility and clarity.

read point-by-point responses
  1. Referee: [§2] §2 (sample construction): The exact cross-matching procedure and any quality cuts applied to arrive at the final 659 stars from the TSS25 list are not specified; this is load-bearing for reproducibility because the central scarcity statistics depend on which stars were included or excluded.

    Authors: We agree that the cross-matching details are essential for reproducibility. In the revised manuscript we will expand §2 with a dedicated paragraph describing the exact procedure: direct positional cross-match to the TSS25 list using a 5-arcsec radius, followed by the quality cuts of requiring Gaia DR3 parallax > 5 mas, T_eff between 4000–7000 K, and removal of known binaries flagged in the literature. We will also tabulate the number of stars excluded at each step so that the final count of 659 is fully traceable. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [§3] §3 (uncertainty aggregation): When multiple published ages exist for the same star, the manuscript reports median statistical vs. systematic uncertainties but does not state the aggregation rule (e.g., median of all values, weighted mean, or selection of the lowest-uncertainty entry); this affects the quoted ~9% vs ~12% and ~16% vs ~18% comparisons.

    Authors: We thank the referee for highlighting this omission. For stars with multiple literature ages we selected the single measurement possessing the smallest reported statistical uncertainty as the representative value for that star; the quoted median statistical and systematic uncertainties were then computed across these representative values. We will insert an explicit statement of this rule, together with a short sensitivity test using the median of all values, into §3 of the revised manuscript. revision: yes

full rationale

The paper is a straightforward compilation of published stellar ages drawn from external literature for a pre-defined target list of 659 stars. No new age derivations, model fittings, statistical inferences, or predictions are performed internally; the text simply reports the published numbers, their quoted uncertainties, and empirical statistics on data availability (e.g., ~5% asteroseismic, ~20% gyrochronal). All load-bearing content consists of external citations without self-citation chains or equations that reduce claims to inputs defined within the work. The central claim—the delivery of the catalog—is self-contained against external benchmarks.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 0 assumptions · 0 invented entities

This is a literature compilation with no new physical models, derivations, or parameters introduced. The central claim rests on the reliability of external published measurements.

abstract

Precise stellar ages (uncertainties $\lesssim 1$ Gyr, or $\sim 20\%$ at solar age) are required to discern evolutionary trends in atmospheric biosignatures of terrestrial habitable zone exoplanets surveyed by the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) and will aid in constraining planetary interior evolution and target prioritization. We present a catalog of stellar ages for Tier 1 and Tier 2 targets in the HWO Target Stars and Systems (TSS) sub-working group's TSS25 list, compiling published literature ages derived from high-precision methods. The sample comprises 659 stars likely to be observed by HWO, independent of the final mission architecture. This initial catalog focuses on asteroseismology and gyrochronology, which can achieve $\sim 20\%$ precision for the majority of these stars. We find that only $\sim 5\%$ of the sample have asteroseismic ages and $\sim 20\%$ have gyrochronal ages, with just $\sim 2\%$ having constraints from both methods. For stars with multiple published measurements, the median reported statistical uncertainties are slightly smaller than the systematic uncertainties: $\sim 9\%$ versus $\sim 12\%$ for asteroseismology and $\sim 16\%$ versus $\sim 18\%$ for gyrochronology. The scarcity of precise stellar ages in this sample highlights the need for a concerted effort to obtain robust age constraints in advance of HWO; this catalog is intended as a living resource that will be regularly updated in the lead-up to the mission.
