Popis: Solar twins are a special group of stars that have spectra and stellar parameters very close to the Sun. Also having mass around 1 solar mass and roughly solar chemical composition, these stars follow a similar evolutionary path to the Sun, from the zero age main sequence to the end of their lives. Additional to that, the similarity between themselves permit us to obtain high-precision differential abundance and thus, very precise atmospheric parameters that allows a reliable estimation of their ages using the traditional isochronal method. Taking advantage of this very restrict group of stars we can better understand the effects of nucleosynthesis of chemical elements throughout the Galaxy and with this, finding constrains for its evolution.
