Magnetic Braking of Accreting T Tauri Stars II: Torque Formulation Spanning Spin-up and Spin-down Regimes
The magnetic interaction between a classical T Tauri star and its surrounding accretion disk is thought to influence its rotational evolution. We use 2.5D magnetohydrodynamic, axisymmetric simulations of star-disk interaction, computed via the PLUTO code, to calculate the net torque acting on these...
