Rotation of Planet-Hosting Stars
Maxted, Pierre
Authors
Abstract
The rotation rate of a star has important implications for the detectability, characterization, and stability of any planets that may be orbiting it. This chapter gives a brief overview of stellar rotation before describing the methods used to measure the rotation periods of planet host stars, the factors affecting the evolution of a star’s rotation rate, stellar age estimates based on rotation, and an overview of the observed trends in the rotation properties of stars with planets.
