Stars: Late-Type, Stars: Rotation

Scientific paper

A calibration based on the results of Gray has been used to determine projected rotational velocities for 133 bright stars with spectral types of F, G, or K, most of which appear in {\it The Bright Star Catalogue}. The vast majority have {\it v} sin {\it i} $\leq$ 10 km s$^{-1}$ and, thus, are slow rotators. With the new calibration, projected rotational velocities have been determined for a sample of 111 late-type stars, most of which are chromospherically active. Some of the stars have had their rotational velocities measured for the first time. (SECTION: Stars)
