The secular evolution of solar-type chromospheres is studied through a detailed comparison of the present Sun (G2 V) with the very old (≃9.5 Gyr) star β Hyi (G2 IV). In such old stars one might observe the lowest possible levels of stellar activity. Detailed studies of various atmospheric layers in β Hyi have been made, and this Paper II in the series treats chromospheric features and their time variability. High-resolution Ca II H and K profiles show the emission about half that for the Sun, but with the same sense of violet-red asymmetry (the shortward peak the strongest)
