Physics of rotation in stellar models

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

In these lecture notes, we present the equations presently used in stellar interior models in order to compute the effects of axial rotation. We discuss the hypotheses made. We suggest that the effects of rotation might play a key role at low metallicity.
