ArAR — The Argon Age Recalculator
| Description | Version | Features/Updates | Documentation | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The ArAR software was designed to make the process of recalculating K-Ar and 40Ar/ 39Ar dates as rapid and straightforward as possible, allowing both geochronologists and non-specialists to account for the inconsistent usage of K isotopic abundance values, 40K decay constants, and the ages of common monitor minerals. | 1.00.01 Released: 05/09/2017 |
• Updated ArAR license information; the software is freely redistributable under the terms
of the GNU GPL 3 license, which you can access here. • Minor bug fixes and code improvements, including: [1] improved handling of unit of time conversions; [2] fixed bug where some user preferences were not applied to the active change log on startup; and [3] improved K-Ar Monte Carlo error propagation code (NOTE: results are the same as in v1.00.00). |
