Double-peaked line profiles are commonly considered a hallmark of rotating discs, with the distance between the peaks a measure of the rotation velocity...
Rotating Stars and the Formation of Bipolar Planetary Nebulae. II. Tidal Spin-up
We present new binary stellar evolution models that include the effects of tidal forces, rotation, and magnetic torques with the goal of testing planetary...
Rotating stellar populations in the Fornax dSph galaxy
We present a novel analysis of the internal kinematics of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Our results are based on the largest sample of spectroscopic data...
Rotating ``black holes'' with holes in the horizon
Kerr-Schild solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations, containing semi-infinite axial singular lines, are investigated. It is shown that axial...
Rotation and magnetism of Kepler pulsating solar-like stars. Towards asteroseismically calibrated age-rotation relations
Kepler ultra-high precision photometry of long and continuous observations provides a unique dataset in which surface rotation and variability can be studied...
Rotation of Hot Horizontal-Branch Stars in the Globular Clusters NGC 1904, NGC 2808, NGC 6093, and NGC 7078
We present high-resolution Very Large Telescope/Ultraviolet Visual Echelle Spectrograph observations of 56 stars in the extended horizontal-branch (EHB) of the...
Rotation of Solar Analogs Crossmatching Kepler and Gaia DR2
A major obstacle to interpreting the rotation period distribution for main-sequence stars from Kepler mission data has been the lack of a precise evolutionary...
Rotation periods and photometric variability of rapidly rotating ultracool dwarfs
We used the optical and near-infrared imagers located on the Liverpool, the IAC80, and the William Herschel telescopes to monitor 18 M7-L9.5 dwarfs with the...
