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 کاملCan stellar mass black holes be quark stars?
We investigate the possibility that stellar mass black holes, with masses in the range of 3.8M⊙ and 6M⊙, respectively, could be in fact quark stars in the Color-Flavor-Locked (CFL) phase. Depending on the value of the gap parameter, rapidly rotating CFL quark stars can achieve much higher masses than standard neutron stars, thus making them possible stellar mass black hole candidates. Moreover,...
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 کاملRotation In Young Stars
The smallest molecular cores observed to date have at least ∼6 orders of magnitude greater angular momentum per unit mass than the Sun, suggesting that they would greatly exceed the breakup velocity if no angular momentum was lost during the star formation process. Therefore, an angular momentum regulation mechanism must be at work in the pre-main-sequence phase, and disks are often invoked as ...
متن کاملStellar Rotation in Young Clusters. Ii. Evolution of Stellar Rotation and Surface Helium Abundance
We derive the effective temperatures and gravities of 461 OB stars in 19 young clusters by fitting the H profile in their spectra. We use synthetic model profiles for rotating stars to develop a method to estimate the polar gravity for these stars, which we argue is a useful indicator of their evolutionary status. We combine these results with projected rotational velocity measurements obtained...
