We report on results of a program of coordinated multiwavelength observations of single G stars. While the spectral types are restricted to lie within a narrow range of the Sun’s, they have ages ranging from ∼ 70 Myr to ∼ 9 Gyr, which makes them suitable proxies for the Sun at several stages of its life history from the ZAMS to the very late main-sequence phase.
