While the effect of rotation on spectral lines is complicated in rapidly-rotating stars because of the appreciable gravity-darkening effect differing from line to line, it is possible to make use of this line-dependent complexity to…
We propose a method for measuring the projected rotational velocity $v sin i$ with high-precision even in spectra with blended lines. Though not automatic, our method is designed to be applied systematically to large numbers of objects…
Within the scope of a Key Programme determining fundamental parameters of stars observed by HIPPARCOS, spectra of 525 B8 to F2-type stars brighter than V=8 have been collected at ESO. Fourier transforms of several line profiles in the range…
The Fourier Transform method is a popular tool to derive the rotational velocities of stars from their spectral line profiles. However, its domain of validity does not include line-profile variables with time-dependent profiles. We…
With an aim of getting information on the equatorial rotation velocity (v_e) of Sirius A separated from the inclination effect (sin i), a detailed profile analysis based on the Fourier transform technique was carried out for a large number…
Here we determine the projected rotational velocity of 10 Be stars using Fourier Transform Method. Also, we discuss the gravity darkening and extend of deviation from solid body rotation for our sample of stars. We found that 7 of…
It is known that stellar differential rotation can be detected by analyzing the Fourier transform of spectral line profiles, since the ratio of the 1st- and 2nd-zero frequencies is a useful indicator. This approach essentially relies on the…
We assume that stars may undergo surface differential rotation to study its impact on the interpretation of $V\!\sin i$ and on the observed distribution $\Phi(u)$ of ratios of true rotational velocities $u=V/V_\rm c$ ($V_\rm c$ is the…
While it is known that the sharp-line star Vega (vsini ~ 20km/s) is actually a rapid rotator seen nearly pole-on with low i (< 10 deg), no consensus has yet been accomplished regarding its intrinsic rotational velocity (v_e), for which…
We argue that, in general, observational studies of Be-star rotation have paid insufficient attention to the effects of equatorial gravity darkening. We present new line-profile calculations that emphasize the insensitivity of line width to…
Measuring stellar rotational velocities is a powerful way to probe the many astrophysical phenomena that drive, or are driven by, the evolution of stellar angular momentum. In this paper, we present a novel data-driven approach to measuring…
We present a comprehensive study that applies the Fourier transform to a sample of O and early B-type stars (either dwarfs, giants, or supergiants) to determine their projected rotational velocities, compare with previous values obtained…
We derive projected rotational velocities (vsini) for a sample of 156 Galactic OB star members of 35 clusters, HII regions, and associations. The HeI lines at $\lambda\lambda$4026, 4388, and 4471A were analyzed in order to define a…
Stellar rotation influences our understanding of stellar structure and evolution, binary systems, clusters etc. and therefore the benefits of a large and highly accurate database on stellar rotation, obtained by GAIA, will be manifold. To…
When studying massive stars and their life cycles, rotation plays a key role. Hence, understanding the rotation of these stars is crucial when determining their properties, or for constraining evolutionary models. We examine the reliability…
Context: Rotation plays a key role in the life cycles of stars with masses above 8 Msun. Hence, accurate knowledge of the rotation rates of such massive stars is critical for understanding their properties and for constraining models of…
We obtained high quality spectra of 135 stars of spectral types F and later and derived ``overall'' broadening functions in selected wavelength regions utilizing a Least Squares Deconvolution (LSD) procedure. Precision values of the…
We have obtained high-dispersion spectra for 256 pre-main-sequence stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster in order to measure their projected rotational velocities and study the rotational evolution and physical properties of young, low-mass…
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 present the Fourier parameter fit method, a new method for spectroscopically identifying stellar radial and non-radial pulsation modes based on the high-resolution time-series spectroscopy of absorption-line profiles. In contrast to…
