Turnoff point

HR diagrams for two open clusters, M67 and NGC 188, showing the main sequence turn-off at different ages.

The turnoff point for a star refers to the point on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram where it leaves the main sequence after the exhaustion of its main fuel. Sun-like stars will enter the red giant branch as subgiants.

By plotting the turnoff point of the stars in star clusters, one can estimate the cluster's age.
