Strange units and values for tage_star #92

There seems to be something not quite correct with the field tage_star in the output catalogues.

The data is in the range 10^8 - 10^9 but the units are reported as being internal time units, which would typically be something like 9*10^9 years already.

I don't know whether the issue is in the calculation of the values or whether the units displayed are incorrect.

Also, just to be sure, how are the ages defined? Is there any weighting of any kind for instance?

Likely its a unit issue but I'll look into it as there is no weighting that is applied.

Let me know if you need a dataset of any kind. This is what the ages look like now:

stellar_mass_stellar_ages_30

where I discarded the units and replaced then with years. Note that this run is not super-well calibrated so it may look all rubbish because the simulation itself was. :)
