The stellar activity‐rotation relationship [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, 2013
AbstractUsing a new catalog of 824 solar and late‐type stars with measured X‐ray luminosities and rotation periods we have studied the relationship between rotation and stellar activity that is believed to be a probe of the underlying stellar dynamo. Using an unbiased subset of the sample we calculate the power law slope of the unsaturated regime of ...

Rotation and stellar evolution [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The effects of rotation on the evolution and properties of low-mass stars are first discussed from the pre-main sequence to the red giant phase. We then briefly indicate how some observational constraints available for these stars can help us progress in

Dependence of Stellar Differential Rotation on Effective Temperature and Rotation: An Analysis from Starspot Transit Mapping

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Stellar rotation is crucial for studying stellar evolution, since it provides information about age, angular momentum transfer, and magnetic fields of stars.

BCD Spectrophotometry and Rotation of Active B-Type Stars: Theory and Observations

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
This review has two parts. The first one is devoted to the Barbier–Chalonge–Divan (BCD) spectrophotometric system, also known as the Paris spectral classification system.

Stellar ages from stellar rotation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
AbstractOur ability to determine stellar ages from measurements of stellar rotation, hinges on how well we can measure the dependence of rotation on age for stars of different masses. Rotation periods for stars in open clusters are essential to determine the relations between stellar age, rotation, and mass.

Stellar multiplicity and stellar rotation: insights from APOGEE

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACTWe measure rotational broadening in spectra taken by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey to characterize the relationship between stellar multiplicity and rotation. We create a sample of 2786 giants and 24 496 dwarfs with stellar parameters and multiple radial velocities from the APOGEE pipeline, projected

A study of stellar population of intermediate-age globular cluster NGC 2249

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2020
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) star cluster NGC 2249 has been found to exhibit an extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) in the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) derived from the data of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Disk accretion onto a magnetized star

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
The problem of interaction of the rotating magnetic field, frozen to a star, with a thin well conducting accretion disk is solved exactly. It is shown that a disk pushes the magnetic field lines towards a star, compressing the stellar dipole magnetic ...

Towards age/rotation/magnetic activity relation with seismology

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The knowledge of stellar ages directly impacts the characterization of a planetary system as it puts strong constraints on the moment when the system was born. Unfortunately, the determination of precise stellar ages is a very difficult task.

Measurement of the Angular Momenta of Pre-main-sequence Stars: Early Evolution of Slow and Fast Rotators and Empirical Constraints on Spin-down Torque Mechanisms

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We use TESS full-frame imaging data to investigate the angular momentum evolution of young stars in the Orion Complex. We confirm recent findings that stars with rotation periods faster than 2 days are overwhelmingly binaries, with typical separations of
