We use the projected rotational velocity ($v\\sin(i)$) estimations reported by the APOGEE-2 collaboration as well as individual masses and ages derived from the position of the stars in the HR diagram, considering Gaia-EDR3 parallaxes and photometry plus diverse evolutionary models. We find an empirical trend for $v\\sin(i)$ decreasing with age for low-mass stars ($0.4 M_{\\odot} < M_{\\ast} < 1.2 M_{\\odot}$). Our results support the existence of a mechanism linking $v\\sin(i)$ to the presence of accreting protoplanetary disks, responsible for regulating stellar rotation in timescales of about 6 Myr, which is the timescale in which most of the T Tauri stars lose their inner disk. Our results provide important constraints to models of rotation in the early phases of evolution of young stars and their disks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-10-13T01:27:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "orion star-forming complex", "stellar rotation", "photometry plus diverse evolutionary models", "tauri stars lose" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
