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 slow rotators. The distributions of the surface angular velocity…
The understanding of the rotational evolution of early-type stars is deeply related to that of anisotropic mass and angular momentum loss. In this paper, we aim to clarify the rotational evolution of rapidly rotating early-type stars along…

The main instabilities induced by rotation in stellar interiors are described. We derive from first principles the general equation describing the transport of the angular momentum. The case of the transport of the chemical species is also…

Observational data on rotation of Ap stars suggest that the bulk of their rotation rates form a separate Maxwellian distribution with an average value 3-4 times lower than the normal star distribution. No evidences for a significant angular…

Angular momentum is a key property regulating star formation and evolution. However, the physics driving the distribution of the stellar rotation rates of early-type main-sequence stars is as yet poorly understood. Using our catalog of…

The differential rotation of a 1.2 $M_\odot$ zero age MS star (spectral type F8) is computed and the results are compared with those from a similar model of the Sun. The rotation pattern is determined by solving the Reynolds equation…
Studies of the rotational velocities of intermediate-mass main-sequence stars are crucial for testing stellar evolution theory. They often rely on spectroscopic measurements of the projected rotation velocities. These not only suffer from…

First, we review the main physical effects to be considered in the building of evolutionary models of rotating stars on the Upper Main-Sequence (MS). The internal rotation law evolves as a result of contraction and expansion, meridional…
