Scientific paper

The initial distribution of projected rotational velocities (v sin i) of late and early B stars is discussed as a means of studying star formation. Analysis shows that small values of v sin i are common among the members of the older subgroups of associations but not among the members of the youngest subgroups. This is difficult to explain, since the older subgroups are only 10 million years old. The stars in the older subgroups possibly shed angular momentum rapidly when they left the nebulosity in which they were embedded; alternatively the stars in the older subgroups formed in a different way from those in the youngest subgroups.
