Stellar Ages from Stellar Rotation
Our ability to determine stellar ages from measurements of stellar rotation, hinges on how well we can measure the dependence of rotation on age for stars of different masses. Rotation periods for stars in open clusters are essential to determine the relations between stellar age, rotation, and mass (color). Until recently, ambiguities in v sin i data and lack of cluster membership information,...
متن کاملStellar ages from asteroseismology
Asteroseismology has been recognized for a long time as a very powerful mean to probe stellar interiors. The oscillations frequencies are closely related to stellar internal structure properties via the density and the sound speed profiles. Since these properties are in turn tightly linked with the mass and evolutionary state, we can expect to determine the age and mass of a star from the compa...
متن کاملStellar Rotation from GAIA Spectra
Abstract. 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 study the prospects of GAIA measurement of projected rotational velocities vrot sin i, we use synthetic stellar spectra to simulate the determinatio...
متن کاملAsteroseismology and Stellar Rotation
We discuss how the structure and oscillation frequencies of delta Scuti stars are aaected by fast rotation. We investigate the impact of these changes on our interpretation of observed frequencies used in an as-teroseismic analysis. We nd that, to rst order, frequency ratios between pairs of radial modes are not sensitive to rotation. However, for non-radial modes we nd that second-order terms ...
متن کاملStellar differential rotation from direct starspot tracking
On the Sun, the rotation periods of individual sunspots not only trace the latitude dependence of the surface rotation rate, but also provide clues as to the amount of subsurface fluid shear. In this paper we present the first measurements of stellar differential rotation made by tracking the rotation of individual starspots with sizes comparable to the largest sunspots. To achieve this we re-a...
