Rotation and stellar evolution [PDF]
EPJ 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

Stellar multiplicity and stellar rotation: insights from APOGEE
Monthly 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

THE STELLAR-ACTIVITY-ROTATION RELATIONSHIP AND THE EVOLUTION OF STELLAR DYNAMOS [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We present a sample of 824 solar and late-type stars with X-ray luminosities and rotation periods. This is used to study the relationship between rotation and stellar activity and derive a new estimate of the convective turnover time. From an unbiased subset of this sample the power law slope of the unsaturated regime, L_X / L_bol = Ro^β, is fit as β= -

Starspots: A Key to the Stellar Dynamo
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2005 Magnetic activity similar to that of the Sun is observed on a variety of cool stars with external convection envelopes. Stellar rotation coupled with convective motions generate strong magnetic fields in the stellar interior and produce a multitude of ...

Stellar ages from stellar rotation [PDF]
Proceedings 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 Rotation and Mixing [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 Many observations indicate that some mixing occurs in stellar radiation zones: in massive stars, chemical elements resulting from nuclear burning in the core are detected at the surface, and in solar-type stars lithium is depleted with age. Since all mixing processes transport also momentum, the depletion of lithium should be linked with the loss of ...

The stellar activity‐rotation relationship [PDF]
Astronomische 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 ...

Disk accretion onto a magnetized star
EPJ 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 ...

Intrinsic Ambipolarity and Rotation in Stellarators [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 It is shown that collisional plasma transport is intrinsically ambipolar only in quasiaxisymmetric or quasihelically symmetric magnetic configurations. Only in such fields can the plasma rotate freely, and then only in the direction of quasisymmetry. In a non-quasi-symmetric magnetic field, the average radial electric field is determined by parallel ...
