The Early History of Stellar Spin: the Theory of Accretion onto Young Stellar Objects

The interaction of the magnetospheres of forming stars with their surrounding protostellar disks results in magnetospheric accretion flow onto the star. How is the associated angular momentum of accreting material channelled? The resolution of this issue is crucial for understanding the origin of t...
