The K2 M67 study: Establishing the limits of stellar rotation period measurements in M67 with K2 campaign 5 data

The open cluster M67 offers a unique opportunity to measure rotation periods for solar-age stars across a range of masses, potentially filling a critical gap in the understanding of angular momentum loss in older main sequence stars. The observation of M67 by NASA K2 Campaign 5 provided light curves...
