Spectral Aging is a theoretical framework in extragalactic radio astronomy that models the temporal evolution of synchrotron radiation spectra from relativistic electron populations in radio galaxies and lobes, distinguishing itself by incorporating energy-dependent particle cooling processes to infer the dynamical history and ages of extragalactic radio sources.
