I did some research in regards to the age and metallicity of population I stars in hopes to come up with a novel solution to the Fermi Paradox. Anyways, while the metallicity of the oldest Population I stars can be tracked down to be something like -1 (10% of that of the sun) determining the age of the oldest Population I stars was a bit more tricky - or put another way: nada! :-)
What I am looking for is (ideally) the distribution curve of the age of Population I stars (in the Milky way and possibly outside) and their respective average metallicity (again ideally for the different metals).
For an interesting paper titled "Occurrence of Planets Correlates with Stellar Metalicity" see http://exoplanets.org/metalicity.html
For a paper coming to the exact opposite results when it comes to stars with close companions see http://sci.tech-archive.net/Archive/sci.astro/2007-11/msg00135.html
