Stellar Rotation in Young Clusters. I. Evolution of Projected Rotational Velocity Distributions

Stellar Rotation in Young Clusters. I. Evolution of Projected Rotational Velocity Distributions

Open clusters offer us the means to study stellar properties in samples with well-defined ages and initial chemical composition. Here we present a survey of projected rotational velocities for a large sample of mainly B-type stars in young clusters to study the time evolution of the rotational properties of massive …
