Stellar multiplicity and stellar rotation: insights from APOGEE
Stellar multiplicity and stellar rotation: insights from APOGEE
We measure rotational broadening in spectra taken by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey to characterise the relationship between stellar multiplicity and rotation. We create a sample of 2786 giants and 24 496 dwarfs with stellar parameters and multiple radial velocities from the APOGEE pipeline, projected rotation …
