The rotational evolution of young low mass stars
Jerome Bouvier (LAOG)
TL;DR
This review discusses the rotational evolution of young low mass stars, highlighting efficient angular momentum removal, accretion-driven braking, and implications for disk lifetimes based on recent observational and theoretical results.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of recent observational findings and models on angular momentum loss and disk interactions in young low mass stars.
Findings
Evidence for efficient angular momentum removal in early stellar evolution
Support for accretion-driven braking mechanisms
Implications for pre-main sequence disk lifetimes
Abstract
Star-disk interaction is thought to drive the angular momentum evolution of young stars. In this review, I present the latest results obtained on the rotational properties of low mass and very low mass pre-main sequence stars. I discuss the evidence for extremely efficient angular momentum removal over the first few Myr of pre-main sequence evolution and describe recent results that support an accretion-driven braking mechanism. Angular momentum evolution models are presented and their implication for accretion disk lifetimes discussed.
