The present study reports measurements of the rotation period of a young solar analogue, estimates of its surface coverage by photospheric starspots and of its chromospheric activity level, and derivations of its evolutionary status. It compares the chromospheric activity level of this young star with a model of chromospheric activity evolution established by combining relationships between the R′HK index and the Rossby number with a recent model of stellar rotation evolution on the main-sequence.
