FGK Star update

Added 55 more ages to my list of FGK stars from Nordstrom et al. 2004, 2007, and 2009.

I was thinking - for a good number of these stars, I have B-V and age. I should be able to run this data through the mamajek code in the other direction to get P(rot). Furthermore, if I have P(rot), Vsini, mass, and luminosity data, I should be able to derive the inclination of the system. Since the ages were derived using isochrones or membership in a cluster, going backward through the code should come out with relevant stellar information! It's a bit tangential to the DEBRIS project, but could be a fun side project.
