The stellar Rotation $vs.$ Age relation is commonly considered as a useful tool to derive reliable ages for Sun-like stars. However, in the light of \kepler\ data, the presence of apparently old and fast rotators that do not obey the usual…

Surface differential rotation (SDR) plays a key role in dynamo models. SDR estimates are therefore essential for constraining theoretical models. We measure a lower limit to SDR in a sample of solar-like stars belonging to young…

Simulations of magnetohydrodynamics convection in slowly rotating stars predict anti-solar differential rotation (DR) in which the equator rotates slower than poles. This anti-solar DR in the usual $\alpha \Omega$ dynamo model does not…

We study the rotation-activity correlations (RACs) in a sample stars from spectral type dK4 to dM4. We study RACs using chromospheric data and coronal data. We study the Ca\,{\sc ii} line surface fluxes-$P/\sin i$ RACs. We fit the RACs with…
