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 ...

Effects of thermohaline instability and rotation-induced mixing on the evolution of light elements in the Galaxy : D, 3He and 4He [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Recent studies of low- and intermediate-mass stars show that the evolution of the chemical elements in these stars is very different from that proposed by standard stellar models.

CALIFA reveals Prolate Rotation in Massive Early-type Galaxies: A Polar Galaxy Merger Origin? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present new evidence for eight early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the CALIFA Survey that show clear rotation around their major photometric axis ("prolate rotation").

The Rotation Period of the Planet-Hosting Star HD 189733 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present synoptic optical photometry of HD 189733, the chromospherically active parent star of one of the most intensively studied exoplanets. We have significantly extended the timespan of our previously reported observations and refined the estimate ...

The evolution of single B-type stars with a large angular momentum content [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The database of intermediate mass rotating stellar models presented in the past years by the Geneva Stellar Evolution Group can be used to build synthetic stellar populations that fully account for the effects of stellar rotation.

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

Rotation periods of exoplanet host stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The stellar rotation periods of ten exoplanet host stars have been determined using newly analysed Ca II H & K flux records from Mount Wilson Observatory and Stromgren b, y photometric measurements from Tennessee State University's automatic photometric ...

Supernovae from rotating stars

open access: yes, 2017
The present paper discusses the main physical effects produced by stellar rotation on presupernovae, as well as observations which confirm these effects and their consequences for presupernova models.

Determination of the position angle of stellar spin axes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Measuring the stellar position angle provides valuable information on binary stellar formation or stellar spin axis evolution. We aim to develop a method for determining the absolute stellar position angle using spectro-astrometric analysis of high ...
