SCEPtERbinary-package: A grid-based estimation tool for the age of stars in bynary systems

Description

The package estimates the age of stars in double-lined detached binary systems, given observational effective temperature, metallicity [Fe/H], mass, and radius of both stars. The results are obtained adopting a maximum likelihood technique on a grid of computed stellar models.
