Collaborative Research: Rotational Evolution and Angular Momentum Transport in Deeply Conv — NSF Award to OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, T
Stars, like our Sun, spin more slowly as they get older. This happens because they lose energy through winds and magnetic fields. But scientists have found that certain stars—called K dwarfs—don’t slow down the way we expect. These stars seem to stay active and spin faster than they should, even as they age. This proje

| Abstract | Stars, like our Sun, spin more slowly as they get older. This happens because they lose energy through winds and magnetic fields. But scientists have found that certain stars—called K dwarfs—don’t slow down the way we expect. These stars seem to stay active and spin faster than they should, even as they age. This project will help us understand why. The researchers will build new computer models to test how energy and magnetism move inside these stars. They will also use large telescopes to dire |
