Linking Circumstellar Disk Lifetimes to the Rotational Evolution of Low-mass Stars

The high-energy radiation emitted by young stars can have a strong influence on their rotational evolution at later stages. This is because internal photoevaporation is one of the major drivers of the dispersal of circumstellar disks, which surround all newly born low-mass stars during the first few...
