THE AGES OF A-STARS. I. INTERFEROMETRIC OBSERVATIONS AND AGE ESTIMATES FOR STARS IN THE URSA MAJOR MOVING GROUP

We have observed and spatially resolved a set of seven A-type stars in the nearby Ursa Major moving group with the Classic, CLIMB, and PAVO beam combiners on the CHARA Array. At least four of these stars have large rotational velocities ($v \sin i$ $\gtrsim$ 170 $\mathrm{km~s^{-1}}$) and are expected …
