Dynamical simulations of magnetically channelled line-driven stellar winds - III. Angular momentum loss and rotational spin-down

Dynamical simulations of magnetically channelled line-driven stellar winds - III. Angular momentum loss and rotational spin-down

We examine the angular momentum loss and associated rotational spindown for magnetic hot stars with a line-driven stellar wind and a rotation-aligned dipole magnetic field. Our analysis here is based on our previous 2-D numerical MHD simulation study that examines the interplay among wind, field, and rotation as a function …
