We present rotational velocities for individual components of eleven very low mass (VLM) binaries with spectral types between M7 and L7.5. These results are based on observations taken with the near-infrared spectrograph, NIRSPEC, and the…

We have measured the rotational velocities (v.sini) of the mass donors in a number of D'--type symbiotic stars, using the cross-correlation function method. Four from five D' symbiotic stars with known v.sini, appeared to be very fast…

The spin evolution of stars in close binary systems can be strongly affected by tides. We investigate the rotational synchronisation of the stellar components for 69 SB1 systems and 14 SB2 B-type systems in the 30 Doradus region of the…

We investigate the rotational velocities of early-type stars in the Sco OB2 association. We measure \vsini\ for 156 established and probable members of the association. The measurements are performed with three different techniques, which…

The Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey is an ESO large programme designed to obtain multi-epoch spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). It will provide binary fractions and orbital configurations of…

The empirical distribution of projected rotational velocities (vsini) in massive O-type stars is characterized by a dominant slow velocity component and a tail of fast rotators. Binary interaction has been proposed to play a dominant role…

We have measured the projected rotational velocities (vsini) in a number of symbiotic stars and M giants using high resolution spectroscopic observations. On the basis of our measurements and data from the literature, we compare the…

In this study, we present the results of the relationship between spectral type (ST) and the projected stellar rotational velocity ($vsini$), utilising a sample of approximately 50,000 single stars across a range of evolutionary stages. The…

The present paper describes the behavior of the rotational velocity in metal--poor stars ([Fe/H]<-0.5 dex) in different evolutionary stages, based on Vsini values from the literature. Our sample is comprised of stars in the field and some…

We present the results of a search for unusually rapidly rotating giant stars in a large sample of K giants (~1300 stars) that had been spectroscopically monitored as potential targets for the Space Interferometry Mission's Astrometric…

Aim - In this work, a sample of vsini of B9 to F2-type main sequence single stars has been built from highly homogeneous vsini parameters determined for a large sample cleansed from objects presenting the Am and Ap phenomenon as well as…

We measured projected rotational velocities of more than a hundred apparently single sdBs. A comparison is made with sdB stars in binary systems with orbits so wide, that tidal interaction becomes negligible. All of these stars are slow…

We analise the behavior of lithium abundance as a function of effective temperature, projected rotational velocity, orbital period and eccentricity for a sample of 68 binary systems with giant component and orbital period ranging from about…

Stars in short-period binaries typically have spins that are aligned and synchronized with the orbit of their companion. In triple systems, however, the combination of spin and orbital precession can cause the star's rotation to evolve to a…

Projected rotational velocities (vsini) are presented for a sample of 350 early B-type main sequence stars in the nearby Galactic disk. The stars are located within ~1.5 kpc from the Sun, and the great majority within 700 pc. The analysis…

We report the results from our analysis of 8 years of the data for the gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303, obtained with the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. We find a significant dip around the binary's…

We present high resolution echelle spectra taken during four observing runs from 1999 to 2001 of the recently X-ray/EUV selected chromospherically active binary BK Psc (2RE J0039+103). Our observations confirm the single-lined spectroscopic…
