Young, accreting, pre-main-sequence stars are often observed to spin much more slowly than expected. This poster presents a scenario in which a powerful stellar wind removes enough angular momentum to explain the observed spin rates. We argue that the energy required to drive the stellar wind ultimately derives from accretion power, and we quantify the necessary conditions in the stellar wind.
This research was supported by the University of Virginia through a Levinson/VITA Fellowship.
