Disk-locking Regulates Stellar Rotation in Young Clusters: Insights from NGC 2264
Many young clusters possess extended main sequences, a phenomenon commonly ascribed to stellar rotation. However, the mechanism behind their very wide stellar rotation distributions remains unclear. A proposed explanation is that magnetic star–disk interaction can regulate stellar rotation, i.e., pr...
