New Calculations of Stellar Wind Torques

Abstract

Using numerical simulations of magnetized stellar winds, we carry out a parameter study to find the dependence of the stellar wind torque on observable parameters. We find that the power‐law dependencies of the torque on parameters is significantly different than what has been used in all spin evolution models to date.
