Magnetic Braking with MESA Evolutionary Models in the Single Star and Low-mass X-Ray Binary Regimes

Magnetic braking has a prominent role in driving the evolution of close low-mass binary systems and heavily influences the rotation rates of low-mass F- and later-type stars with convective envelopes. Several possible prescriptions that describe magnetic braking in the context of 1D stellar evolutio...
