We present new models for the rotational evolution of solar-like stars between 1 Myr and 10 Gyr with the aim to reproduce the distributions of rotational periods observed for star forming regions and young open clusters within this age…
Solar-like stars (M < 1.3 Msun) lose angular momentum through their magnetized winds. The resulting evolution of the surface rotation period, which can be directly measured photometrically, has the potential to provide an accurate indicator…
We propose a simple interpretation of the rotation period data for solar- and late-type stars. The open cluster and Mt. Wilson star observations suggest that rotating stars lie primarily on two sequences, initially called I and C. Some…
Solar-type stars form with a wide range of rotation rates. A wide range persists until a stellar age of 0.6 Gyr, after which solar-type stars exhibit Skumanich spin-down. Rotational evolution models incorporating polytropic stellar winds…
Rotation periods are now available for ~500 pre-main sequence and recently arrived main sequence stars of solar-like mass (0.4-1.2 M_sun) in five nearby young clusters: the Orion Nebula Cluster, NGC 2264, alpha Per, IC 2602 and the…
Aims: We study the evolution of stellar rotation and wind properties for low-mass main-sequence stars. Our aim is to use rotational evolution models to constrain the mass loss rates in stellar winds and to predict how their properties…
We calculated a grid of evolutionary tracks of rotating models with masses between 1.0 and 3.0 $M_{\odot}$ and a resolution $\delta M \leq 0.02$ $M_{\odot}$, which can be used to study the effects of rotation on stellar evolutions and on…
We investigate the rotational evolution of young stars through Monte Carlo simulations. We simulate 280,000 stars, each of which is assigned a mass, a rotational period, and a mass accretion rate. The mass accretion rate depends on mass and…
A concordance model for angular momentum evolution has been developed by multiple investigators. This approach postulates that star forming regions and clusters are an evolutionary sequence which can be modeled with assumptions about the…
Angular momentum evolution in low-mass stars is determined by initial conditions during star formation, stellar structure evolution, and the behaviour of stellar magnetic fields. Here we show that the empirical picture of angular momentum…
We present the results of a detailed kinematic analysis of a significant fraction of the known population of Galactic star clusters aimed at constraining the physical mechanisms driving the onset and evolution of cluster rotation. Our study…
We develop new angular momentum evolution models for stars with masses of $0.5$ to $1.6~\rm M_\odot$ and from the pre-main-sequence (\rm PMS) through the end of their main-sequence (\rm MS) lifetime. The parametric models include magnetic…

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…

Young and rapidly rotating stars are known for intense, dynamo generated magnetic fields. Spectropolarimetric observations of those stars in precisely aged clusters are key input for gyrochronology and magnetochronology. We use ZDI maps of…
Major photometric monitoring campaigns of star-forming regions in the past decade have provided rich rotation period distributions of pre-main-sequence stars. The rotation periods span more than an order of magnitude in period, with most…
