Angular momentum evolution of young stars and disks

P Bodenheimer - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1995 - annualreviews.org
The effects of angular momentum play an important role in star formation. However, when a
young star emerges on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram it is generally rotating slowly. This …

Observational evidence for tidal interaction in close binary systems

MJ Goupil, JP Zahn, T Mazeh - European Astronomical Society …, 2008 - cambridge.org
This paper reviews the rich corpus of observational evidence for tidal effects, mostly based
on photometric and radial-velocity measurements. This is done in a period when the study of …

Improved age estimation for solar-type dwarfs using activity-rotation diagnostics

EE Mamajek, LA Hillenbrand - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
While the strong anticorrelation between chromospheric activity and age has led to the
common use of the Ca ii H and K emission index (R^{\prime} _ {\mathrm {HK}\,}= L …

On the rotational evolution of solar-and late-type stars, its magnetic origins, and the possibility of stellar gyrochronology

SA Barnes - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a simple interpretation of the rotation period data for solar-and late-type stars.
The open cluster and Mount Wilson star observations suggest that rotating stars lie primarily …

LM Rebull, JR Stauffer, J Bouvier… - The Astronomical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT Young (125 Myr), populous (> 1000 members), and relatively nearby, the
Pleiades has provided an anchor for stellar angular momentum models for both younger …

Rotational velocities of A-type stars-IV. Evolution of rotational velocities

J Zorec, F Royer - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 - aanda.org
Context. In previous works of this series, we have shown that late B-and early A-type stars
have genuine bimodal distributions of rotational velocities and that late A-type stars lack …

Competing effect of wind braking and interior coupling in the rotational evolution of solar-like stars

F Spada, AC Lanzafame - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 - aanda.org
Solar-like stars (M≲ 1.3 M⊙) lose angular momentum through their magnetized winds. The
resulting evolution of the surface rotation period, which can be directly measured …
