The Relationship Between Stellar Rotation and Magnetic Activity as Revealed by M37 and Alpha Persei
In low-mass (≲1.2 M⊙) main-sequence stars, the combination of differential rotation and turbulent flows in the outer convective region generates strong magnetic fields. It has been observed that in these stars, the rotation rate and the strength of the magnetic field decrease over time. This is thou...
