Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age-dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information. We construct and present a set of rotational isochrones, named the Potsdam Empirical Rotational Isochrones from CLustEr Stars (<span>Pericles</span>), that leverage rotation periods. They are constructed empirically using stars in well-studied open clusters and a small number of complementary field stars. The rotational isochrones span the main sequence stars from late-F type near the Kraft break to the fully-convective boundary around M3 stars, and are available for ages ≤ 6 Gyr.
