Abstract
New ages are computed for the stars from the Edvardsson et al. (1993) data set. The revised values are systematically larger toward older ag es (t > 4 Gyr), while they are slightly lower for t < 4 Gyr. A similar , but considerably smaller trend is present when the ages are computed with the distances based on Hipparcos parallaxes. The resulting age-m etallicity relation has a small, but distinct slope of similar to 0.07 dex/Gyr.
