Transport of angular momentum in stellar interiors is currently not well understood. Asteroseismology can provide us with estimates of internal rotation of stars and thereby advances our understanding of angular momentum transport. We can…
The detection of mixed modes in subgiants and red giants by the CoRoT and \emph{Kepler} space-borne missions allows us to investigate the internal structure of evolved low-mass stars. In particular, the measurement of the mean core rotation…
Rotating stellar convection transports angular momentum towards the equator, generating the characteristic equatorial acceleration of the solar rotation while the radial flux of angular momentum is always inwards. New numerical box…
The internal gravity waves of low frequency which are emitted at the base of the solar convection zone are able to extract angular momentum from the radiative interior. We evaluate this transport with some simplifying assumptions: we ignore…
Internal waves propagating in stellar radiative zones can lead to efficient angular momentum transport, that should occur throughout the whole lifetime of stars. They thus play a key role in shaping the internal rotation profile of these…
The rotation rates in the deep interior and at the surface of 22 main-sequence stars with masses between $1.0$ and $1.6\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$ are constrained by combining asteroseismological analysis with spectroscopic measurements. The…
[Abridged] In order to explain the slow rotation observed in a large fraction of accreting pre-main-sequence stars (CTTSs), we explore the role of stellar winds in torquing down the stars. For this mechanism to be effective, the stellar…
The importance of the existence of a radiative core in generating a solar-like magnetic dynamo is still unclear. Analytic models and magnetohydrodynamic simulations of stars suggest the thin layer between a star's radiative core and its…
The evolution of rotating stars with zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) masses in the range 8 to 25 M_sun is followed through all stages of stable evolution. The initial angular momentum is chosen such that the star's equatorial rotational…
During the last decade, our understanding of stellar physics and evolution has undergone a tremendous revolution thanks to asteroseismology. Space missions such as CoRoT, \kep, K2, and TESS have already been observing millions of stars…
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…
Core rotation rates of red-giant stars inferred from asteroseismic observations are substantially lower than predicted by current stellar models. This indicates the lack of an efficient angular momentum transport mechanism in radiative…
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…
The magnetic fields of low-mass stars are observed to be variable on decadal timescales, ranging in behaviour from cyclic to stochastic. The changing strength and geometry of the magnetic field should modify the efficiency of angular…
Seismic observations by the space-borne mission \emph{Kepler} have shown that the core of red giant stars slows down while evolving, requiring an efficient physical mechanism to extract angular momentum from the inner layers. Current…
The internal rotation and magnetism of evolved massive stars are considered in response to i) the inward pumping of angular momentum through deep and slowly rotating convective layers; and ii) the winding up of a helical magnetic field in…
The rotation powered pulsar loses angular momentum at a rate of the rotation power divided by the angular velocity $\Omega_*$. This means that the length of the lever arm of the angular momentum extracted by the photons, relativistic…
Stars of sufficiently low mass are convective throughout their interiors, and so do not possess an internal boundary layer akin to the solar tachocline. Because that interface figures so prominently in many theories of the solar magnetic…
We present theoretical models of the angular momentum evolution of very low mass stars (0.1 - 0.5 M_sun) and solar analogues (0.6 - 1.1 M_sun). We investigate the effect of rotation on the effective temperature and luminosity of these…
Since their formation, stars slow down their rotation rates by the removal of angular momentum from their surfaces, e.g. via stellar winds. Despite the complexity of the processes involved, a traditional model, where the removal of angular…
