Differential rotation in F stars [PDF]
Differential rotation can be detected in single line profiles of stars rotating more rapidly than about v sin i = 10 km s(-1) with the Fourier transform technique.

Differential rotation in K, G, F and A stars
Rotational light modulation in Kepler photometry of K-A stars is used to estimate the absolute rotational shear. The rotation frequency spread in 2562 carefully selected stars with known rotation periods is measured using time-frequency diagrams. Because

Rotational modulation in A and F stars: Magnetic stellar spots or convective core rotation? [PDF]
The Kepler mission revealed a plethora of stellar variability in the light curves of many stars, some associated with magnetic activity or stellar oscillations.

On the Rotation of Supermassive Stars [PDF]
Abstract Supermassive stars (SMSs) born from pristine gas in atomically cooled halos are thought to be the progenitors of supermassive black holes at high redshifts. However, the way they accrete their mass is still an unsolved problem. In particular, for accretion to proceed, a large amount of angular momentum has to be extracted from ...

The internal rotation of post-main sequence stars is investigated, in response to the convective pumping of angular momentum toward the stellar core, combined with a tight magnetic coupling between core and envelope. The spin evolution is calculated using model stars of initial mass 1, 1.5 and $5\,M_\odot$, taking into account mass loss on the giant ...

A rotating star may be modeled as a continuous system of particles attracted to each other by gravity and with a given total mass and prescribed angular velocity. Mathematically this leads to the Euler-Poisson system. We prove an existence theorem for such stars that are rapidly rotating, depending continuously on the speed of rotation.

Gravitoastronomy with neutron stars [PDF]
Recent advances in gravitational wave detectors mean that we can start to make astrophysically important statements about the physics of neutron stars based on observed upper limits to their gravitational luminosity.

The effect of tides on near-core rotation: analysis of 35 Kepler γ Doradus stars in eclipsing and spectroscopic binaries [PDF]
We systematically searched for gravity- and Rossby-mode period spacing patterns in Kepler eclipsing binaries with γ Doradus pulsators. These stars provide an excellent opportunity to test the theory of tidal synchronization and angular momentum transport
