This book reports the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research
Workshop on "An gular Momentum Evolution of Young Stars" held from
17 to 21 September 1990 at Noto, Italy. The workshop had its
immediate origin in a discussion about the availability of stel lar
rotation data, that took place in 1987 at Viana do Castelo Portugal
during the NATO meeting, Formation and Evolution of Low Mass Stars.
We recognized that nearly 20 years had passed since the last
meeting on stellar rotation and that significant progress in the
observation of rotation rates in low mass stars had been made.
During the last 20 years, new efficient instrumentation (CCD and
photon counting de tectors and echelle spectrographs) and new
analysis techniques (profile Fourier analysis) have allowed us to
measure rotational velocities as low as 1-2 km/s and to reach low
mass stars in young clusters. Even with these advances, rotational
velocities of low mass stars would have remained challenging to
determine if all single, low mass stars later than GO had
rotational velocities of order or less than 10 km/sec. Evidence
that this is not always the case was first provided by the
photometric variability data obtained by van Leeuwen and Alphenaar
for K dwarfs in the Pleiades and more recently by the vsini
measurements of low mass stars in several young clusters."
