New insights into the rotational evolution of near-solar age stars from the open cluster M 67

D Gruner, SA Barnes, J Weingrill - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org

ChronoFlow: A Data-Driven Model for Gyrochronology

PR Van-Lane, JS Speagle, GM Eadie… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Gyrochronology is a technique for constraining stellar ages using rotation periods, which

Magnetic and Rotational Evolution of ρ CrB from Asteroseismology with TESS

TS Metcalfe, JL Van Saders, S Basu… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
During the first half of main-sequence lifetimes, the evolution of rotation and magnetic
activity in solar-type stars appears to be strongly coupled. Recent observations suggest that …

How good a clock is rotation? The stellar rotation–mass–age relationship for old field stars

CR Epstein, MH Pinsonneault - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The rotation–mass–age relationship offers a promising avenue for measuring the ages of
field stars, assuming the attendant uncertainties to this technique can be well characterized …

Rotational evolution of slow-rotator sequence stars

AC Lanzafame, F Spada - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 - aanda.org

Stellar spindown: From the ONC to the Sun

A Scholz - AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
Rotation is a key parameter in the evolution of stars. From 1 Myr (the age of the ONC) to 4.5
Gyr (the age of the Sun), solar‐like stars lose about 1–2 orders of specific angular …

We investigate the rotation periods of fully convective very low mass (VLM, M< 0.3 M⊙)
stars, with the aim to derive empirical constraints for the spin-down due to magnetically …

At what mass are stars braked? The implication from the turnoff morphology of NGC 6819

Y Yang, C Li, Y Huang, X Liu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Extended main-sequence turnoffs (eMSTOs) apparent in most young and intermediate-age
clusters (younger than∼ 2 Gyr) are known features caused by fast rotating early-type (earlier …

The effects of stellar rotation along the main sequence of the 100-Myr-old massive cluster NGC 1850

S Kamann, S Saracino, N Bastian… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Young star clusters enable us to study the effects of stellar rotation on an ensemble of stars
of the same age and across a wide range in stellar mass and are therefore ideal targets for …
