Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of stellar rotation measurement techniques and the observed rotation properties of stars with planets.
Findings
Rotation impacts planet detectability and stability.
Methods for measuring stellar rotation periods are summarized.
Observed rotation trends vary with stellar age and type.
Abstract
The rotation rate of a star has important implications for the detectability, characterisation and stability of any planets that may be orbiting it. This chapter gives a brief overview of stellar rotation before describing the methods used to measure the rotation periods of planet host stars, the factors affecting the evolution of a star's rotation rate, stellar age estimates based on rotation, and an overview of the observed trends in the rotation properties of stars with planets.
