The Relationship Between Stellar Rotation and Magnetic Activity as Revealed by M37 and Alpha Persei.

▼ In low-mass (≲1.2 M⊙) main-sequence stars, the combination of differential rotation and turbulent flows in the outer convective region generates strong magnetic fields. It has been observed that in these stars, the rotation rate and the strength of the magnetic field decrease over time. This is thought to result from a feedback loop in which magnetized winds carry angular momentum away from the star, braking its rotation and weakening the magnetic dynamo. A well-calibrated age-rotation-activity relation (ARAR) would be particularly valuable for low-mass stars. If we knew the dependence of rotation or magnetic activity on age, a measurement of one of these quantities could be used to determine an accurate age for any isolated field star. Empirical calibrations of the ARAR rely on observations of the co-eval populations of stars in open clusters. In this work, I characterize rotation and magnetic activity, using light curves for the former and X-ray and Hα emission for the latter, in two open clusters of different ages (Alpha Persei, ≈60 Myr, and Messier 37, ≈500 Myr) to analyze the relation between rotation and activity across the low-mass stellar range. I also compare coronal (X-rays) and chromospheric (Hα) activity to understand how magnetic heating varies across stellar atmospheric layers. My results inform models of angular momentum evolution in low-mass stars.

▼ Detailed studies of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of young
stars can reveal much about their basic properties and their circumstellar material. Previous work suggests that the magnetic interactions of its circumstellar disk may be the result of the influence of a young
stars angular momentum content and
rotation rate. The generic prediction of these “disk-locking” theories is that a disk-locked star will be forced to rotate at the same Keplerian angular velocity of the inner edge of the disk; that is, the disks radius at which it is truncated or evacuated, should be equal to its co-
rotation radius. Additional interpretations of these theories also suggest a correlation between the
rotation period of a star and the structure of its circumstellar disk; slow rotators possess closely truncated disks that enforce the
stars slow
rotation, whereas rapid rotators possess disks that are largely evacuated or anemic, interpreted as being outside of the magnetic influence of the star, whereby the star is free to speed up as it continues its pre-main sequence contraction.
As a test of the expectations of these theories, we model the spectral energy distributions of 33 young
stars in the IC348 region with known
rotation periods, as well as infrared excesses indicative of circumstellar disks. We match the observed SED for each star, sampling a range of 0.6-8.0m, to a grid of 200,000 pre-computed star+disk radiative transfer models, from which we then infer the circumstellar disks inner truncation radius. We then compare the inferred truncation radius to the disks co-
rotation radius, calculated from the
stars measured
rotation period.
We do not find any obvious differences in the disk truncation radii of slow versus rapid rotators. This holds true both at the level of whether close-in disk material is present at all, as well as analyzing the precise location of the inner edge of the disk relative to the co-
rotation radius among the subset of
stars with close-in disk material. One interpretation

of these results is that the disk locking is unimportant for the IC 348
stars in our sample. Alternatively, if disk locking does operate, then it must operate on both slow and rapid rotators, potentially producing both spin-up and spin-down torques, and the transition from the disk-locked state to the disk-released state must occur more rapidly than the stellar contraction timescale.

▼ Luminosity-velocity diagrams for 12 spiral galaxies in the Virgo cluster are presented. Optical rotation curves obtained for the innermost portions of eight galaxies, complemented with velocity data from the literature, are coupled with luminosity growth curves to investigate the distance indication capabilities of the initial linear branch (ILB) feature and to delve into the physical basis for the T-F relation. Luminosity growth curves are obtained from Gunn r CCD images. The ILB feature is found to have a substantially larger dispersion in slope (~0.9) (and consequently, zero point) than previously thought. Plotting the magnitude and velocity of the final point in the ILB for all the galaxies in our sample yields a tight correlation (essentially an "inner T-F relation"), with the caveat that two galaxies are rejected from the fit (one is foreground, the other is a member of a binary pair). Ramifications of this relation are briefly discussed.

▼ A sample of 26 Be stars from the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) spectroscopic survey are analyzed for their photospheric nitrogen abundances in an effort to detect rotational mixing in the Be stars. Be stars are massive stars, between 3 and 20 times the mass of the Sun, that are surrounded by a thin, equatorial disk of gas that produces emission lines in their optical and near-infrared spectra. Be stars are the most rapidly-rotating stellar population on the main sequence, where stars produce energy by core hydrogen burning. New, non-LTE line transfer calculations are performed for the Nii ion, the dominant ionization stage in the photospheres of the B stars, and an extensive error analysis is performed via Monte Carlo simulation to determine the achievable accuracy of nitrogen abundances among these stars. To analyze the measured Nii equivalent widths from the MiMeS survey, the effects of both gravitational darkening, due to the rapid rotation of the central B star, and the veiling effect of emission from the Be star circumstellar disk are considered. Both of these effects are found to be small for the sample population, affecting the final nitrogen abundances at the level ≈ ±0.1 dex. The final, average nitrogen abundance for the MiMeS sample, AMiMeS, N = 7.78, has a value in good agreement with the solar abundance, AN = 7.83, and recent, high-precision abundance measurements for main-sequence B stars. Nevertheless, the MiMeS sample standard deviation is over a factor of two larger than that of the observed nitrogen abundances in the atmospheres of B stars in the solar neighbourhood, with many low abundance objects and a few high abundance objects. No discernible trend of the nitrogen abundance can be seen with stellar gravity, log g (as a proxy for stellar age), or stellar equatorial velocity in the MiMeS survey. It is suggested that possible disk emission in the NII line transitions may explain the lower abundance objects, and this will be the subject of future work.

▼ Les étoiles massives sont les principaux contributeurs à l'enrichissement du milieu interstellaire. Ce sont généralement des rotateurs rapides, dotés d'une enveloppe radiative dans laquelle l'interaction de la stratification et la rotation génère une rotation différentielle. Celle-ci peut alimenter divers phénomènes de transport et l'évolution rapide de l'étoile. Nombre de ces étoiles sont par ailleurs des pulsateurs classiques. Cette thèse s'intéresse en premier lieu à l'interaction entre la rotation différentielle et les pulsations à basse fréquence dans l'étoile : celles-ci sont des modes gravito-inertiels dont la force de rappel est une combinaison de la force de Coriolis et de la poussée d'Archimède. Ils sondent les couches profondes de l'étoile, et sont étudiés suivant deux méthodes : dans la limite non-dissipative par la méthode des caractéristiques, et dans le cas dissipatif par la résolution du problème complet par une méthode spectrale. Nous mettons en évidence différentes singularités (attracteurs, latitudes critiques, résonances de corotation, piégeage en coin) et des modes réguliers. Certains modes sont excités par des instabilités baroclines, qui, si des effets non-linéaires provoquent leur saturation, permettent l'existence d'un mécanisme d'excitation nouveau dû à la rotation différentielle. Dans un second temps, nous avons associé le code de structure ESTER au code de calcul d'oscillations TOP. Ces deux codes calculent les quantités dans une étoile en deux dimensions et les modes associés en tenant compte des effets de la rotation de façon complète. Nous utilisons visibilités et taux d'amortissement des modes pour sélectionner dans le spectre synthétique les meilleurs candidats à l'identification des modes observés. Nous présentons une application au rotateur rapide Rasalhague (aOph), pour lequel de nombreuses observations sont disponibles. Nous n'avons pas obtenu une identification des modes univoque, mais le problème est maintenant mieux cerné et diverses pistes de progrès ont été identifiées.
Massive stars are the main contributors of the interstellar medium enrichment. These stars are usually fast rotators, with a radiative envelope in which the interaction between stratification and rotation gives rise to a differential rotation. This can trigger transport phenomena in the star, and affect its fast evolution. Besides, many of these stars are classical pulsators. This work focuses first on the impact of a differential rotation on the low-frequency oscillation spectrum which contains gravito-inertial modes. These modes are restored by the combination of buoyancy and Coriolis force and probe deep layers of stars. Our study is twofold : we compute the paths of characteristics in the non-dissipative limit, and solve the fully-dissipative eigenvalue problem numerically using a spectral decomposition. We find various singularities (attractors, critical latitudes, corotation resonances, wedge-trapping) and regular modes. Some of these modes are excited by baroclinic instabilities that may saturate…

▼ In the past 50 years, large efforts have been made toward the understanding of the stellar evolution. In the observational context, large sets of precise measurements of projected rotational velocity were produced, in particular by the Natal and Geneva groups. From these data, it is now possible to establish the behavior of stellar
rotation from the turnoff to the red giant branch. In addition, these data have shown the role of tidal effects on stellar
rotation in close binary systems. Nevertheless, relatively little attention has been paid to theoretical studies on the evolution of
rotation along the HR Diagram, a topic itself directly associated to the evolution of the
stars. Basically, there are two reasons for such a fact, (i) spherical symmetry is not assumed, what leads to a substantial increase in the numerical complexity of equations and (ii) non rotating models have been very successful in explaining relevant observational data, including the mass-luminosity relation and chemical abundances. In spite of these facts, it is clear that considerable work remains to be done on the role of
rotation in the later stages of the evolution, where clear disagreements arise from confrontations between theoretical predictions and observations. In the present work we study the evolutionary behavior of stellar
rotation along the HR Diagram, taking into account constraint conditions issued from recent observational survey of rotational velocity carried out with high precision procedures and new evolutionary codes

▼ Les missions spatiales CoRoT (2006-2014) et Kepler (2009) ont procuré de nombreuses données sismiques pour des milliers d'étoiles de faible masse. L'analyse de ces données a rendu possible l'étude de l'intérieur de ces étoiles au cours de l'évolution et a apporté de fortes contraintes sur les processus physiques à l’œuvre sous leur surface. En particulier, ces observations ont montré que la
rotation moyenne du cœur de ces étoiles augmente légèrement avec le temps sur la branche des sous-géantes avant de diminuer lors de l'ascension de la branche des géantes rouges. Ceci est désaccord avec les prédictions théoriques actuelles et souligne la nécessité d'inclure de nouveaux processus de transport de moment cinétique dans les modèles stellaires. Dans une première partie, j'ai donc étudié l'influence du transport de moment cinétique par les ondes internes de gravité sur l'évolution de la
rotation dans les étoiles de faible masse. Ces ondes se propagent dans les zones radiatives stablement stratifiées et sont capables d'en modifier la vitesse de
rotation moyenne. Or, l'efficacité du transport par les ondes dépend de leur amplitude et donc du mécanisme d'excitation. Alors que des modèles semi-analytiques permettaient déjà d'évaluer l'énergie transférée aux ondes par la pression turbulente dans la zone convective, une estimation théorique de l'excitation par la pénétration de panaches convectifs à l'interface avec la zone radiative restait manquante. J'ai donc proposé un modèle d'excitation pour estimer la part d'énergie cinétique des panaches transférées sous forme d'ondes à la base de la zone convective (Pinçon et al., 2016). Cela m'a d'abord permis d'établir que la pénétration convective génère des ondes plus efficacement que la pression turbulente, et ensuite que les ondes induites par la pénétration convective sont capables de s'opposer à l'accélération de la
rotation due à la contraction des couches internes, depuis la séquence principale jusqu'au début de l'ascension de la branche des géantes rouges. En particulier, j'ai montré que les valeurs de la
rotation observées dans l'intérieur des étoiles sous-géantes peuvent être interprétées comme le possible résultat d'un mécanisme de régulation contrôlé par ces ondes (Pinçon at al., 2017). Dans une seconde partie, je me suis intéressé à l'amélioration et à l'élaboration des diagnostiques sismiques par les modes mixtes, ces modes d'oscillation qui sont capables de sonder aussi bien l'enveloppe que les régions centrales des étoiles. Les diagnostiques sismiques font le lien entre les caractéristiques observées dans un spectre d'oscillation et les propriétés de la structure interne de l'étoile. Mon attention s'est premièrement focalisée sur la facteur de couplage des modes mixtes qui décrit le degré d'interaction entre les oscillations dans la cavité centrale et celles dans l'enveloppe de l'étoile. Ce paramètre n'a été, jusque là, que très peu étudié. Une première étude observationnelle sur un large échantillon d'étoiles par Mosser et al. (2017) a montré que ce facteur varie…

▼ Le moment cinétique d’une étoile, comme sa masse ou sa composition chimique, est l’une de ses propriétés fondamentales, l’un de celles qui varient à cours du temps et influent sur la structure de l’étoile. Celui-ci peut être global, on l’observe alors à travers la vitesse de rotation de surface d’une étoile, ou local, auquel cas il nous faut sonder l’intérieur stellaire et étudier les processus de redistribution au sein des régions internes du moment cinétique. Au cours de cette thèse dans le cadre du projet ToUpiES, nous nous sommes intéressés en particulier à l’évolution du moment cinétique des étoiles de faible masse au cours de leur jeunesse, qui est une période critique de leur vie en ce qui concerne l’impact et l’évolution du moment cinétique. Nous avons d’abord inclus au sein du code d’évolution STAREVOL les prescriptions les plus à jour pour l’extraction du moment cinétique par les vents magnétisés. L’étude systématique des combinaisons de ce freinage avec différentes prescriptions existantes pour le traitement de la turbulence horizontale et verticale dans la zone radiative des étoiles, nous a permis de sélectionner un jeu de prescriptions capable de reproduire, les périodes de rotation dans les amas ouverts pour une étoile de type solaire. Nous comparons ensuite l’application de ces processus de transport et d’extraction du moment cinétique à un modèle de 1, 2 masse solaire, aux autres processus jugés potentiellement efficaces pour transport le moment cinétique à ce jour (ondes internes de gravités, instabilité MHD de Tayler-Spruit, modes de gravités). Cela nous a permis de présenter dans chacun des cas les spécificités du profil de rotation prédit par ces différents modes de transport. Puis, nous avons mis en place un modèle rotationnel fonctionnel adapté à l’ensemble des étoiles de faible masse, permettant entre autre de reproduire les périodes de rotation observées dans les amas jeunes pour les étoiles de faible masse (avec une masse comprise entre 0, 2 et 1, 1 M⊙). Ceci a donné lieu à une grille de modèle d’évolution unique à ce jour. Enfin, cette grille a été utilisée dans le cadre de travaux dans différents domaines, tels que l’impact de l’évolution stellaire sur l’habitabilité d’un système, la caractérisation d’étoiles-hôte ou encore l’étude de l’évolution de la topologie magnétique au cours des phases jeunes.
The angular momentum content of a star, as its mass or its chemical composition is one of the fundamental properties of a star, one of those that evolves with time and modify the stellar structure. The angular momentum can be studied as a global property, we can then observe it through the surface rotation velocity, or a local property that vary inside the star, we therefore have to probe the stellar radiation zone and study the secular angular momentum redistribution processes that happen in this region. During this PhD, in the frame of the ToUpiES project, we have been especially interested in the evolution of the…

▼ Les ondes internes gravito-inertielles sont des ondes se propageant dans les milieux fluides stablement stratifiés en
rotation. Leurs forces de rappel sont la poussée d'Archimède et l'accélération de Coriolis. Elles sont capables de redistribuer de l'énergie et du moment cinétique du fait de leur dissipation et de leur possible déferlement non-linéaire, jouant ainsi un rôle crucial dans l’évolution dynamique des corps dans lesquels elles se propagent. Dans cette thèse, nous nous attachons à caractériser leur propagation, leur amortissement et les échanges de moment cinétique qu’elles induisent, dans les environnements complexes que sont les intérieurs stellaires et de planètes géantes.Au sein des planètes géantes, nous étudions la propagation et la dissipation d’ondes gravito-inertielles de marée, dans une région de convection stratifiée susceptible de se développer proche du cœur. Nous nous intéressons tout d’abord à leur propagation libre et nous montrons qu’une onde incidente sur une telle région est efficacement transmise à condition qu’elle soit résonante avec un de ses modes propres. Sinon, l’onde est réfléchie et ne pénètre pas dans les régions plus profondes de la planète. Ensuite, nous étudions numériquement la dissipation de marée induite lorsque ces ondes sont excitées par un forçage gravitationnel dû à la présence d’un satellite. Nous montrons que le taux de dissipation de marée est en moyenne augmenté par rapport à un milieu purement convectif. Les contributions les plus importantes à cette augmentation proviennent de la dissipation des ondes gravito-inertielles résonantes avec les modes propres de la région de convection stratifiée, qui sont aussi celles qui sont efficacement transmises. Ces résultats sont compatibles avec les hauts taux de dissipation de marée récemment observés dans Jupiter et Saturne.Dans les zones radiatives des étoiles, nous présentons en premier lieu une étude semi-analytique linéaire de l’influence de la
rotation globale et différentielle, sur le transport de moment cinétique induit par la dissipation des ondes gravito-inertielles. Dans un modèle équatorial, nous montrons que la
rotation a pour effet l’augmentation de la dissipation thermique des ondes. Celle-ci est particulièrement significative dans leur région d’excitation, modifiant ainsi le dépôt de moment cinétique. Nous montrons que cet effet se révèle d’autant plus efficace que l’étoile est jeune et massive. En parallèle de ce travail semi-analytique, cette thèse s’est attachée à développer un modèle 3D non-linéaire ab initio d’une étoile massive couplant le coeur convectif à une enveloppe radiative étendue, sous l’influence de la
rotation. L’analyse détaillée de simulations numériques à haute performance, réalisées avec le code ASH, nous a permis de caractériser les propriétés du spectre d’excitation des ondes et des modes résonants qui s’établissent dans l’enveloppe radiative. Proche de la surface de l’étoile, nous montrons que les ondes peuvent atteindre une amplitude suffisante pour interagir de manière significative…

▼ Small amplitude rotational irregularities are observed in a number of rotation-powered pulsars. They fall into two classes: (i) glitches, defined as abrupt increases in the angular velocity of a pulsar (accompanied sometimes by changes in the angular acceleration Ω), of which 286 have been observed in 101 objects; and (ii) timing noise, a continuous stochastic fluctuation in phase, or, which is observed mostly in young and adolescent pulsars (with ages ≥ 10 4 yr). Both classes of irregularity seem to arise from some mechanism that couples the angular momentum of the solid crust and superfluid core of the star, which is activated suddenly when differential rotation exceeds a threshold. Coupling mechanisms proposed to date include catastrophic vortex unpinning in the inner crust, triggered by starquakes; vortex creep, due to thermally activated quantum tunnelling; superfluid-superconductor interactions in the core; and superfluid instabilities. The associated theories are phenomenological, not predictive.

▼ The kinematics of stars in the outer Galactic disk is poorly known. In addition to constraining the Galactic potential, knowledge of the motions of stars throughout the disk facilitates studies of non-axisymmetric motion, such as streaming motions due to spiral arms. Understanding the kinematics of the disk in full, including the rotation law, will help to map out its structure, and set constraints on its formation and evolution. I explore the kinematics of A/F stars in two outer-disk pencil beams. I show that A stars in particular are useful probes of outer Galactic disk kinematics. The use of these relatively early-type stars is an alternative to the ISM gas tracers and clump giants that have been commonly used in previous studies. A/F stars offer the advantage of reduced kinematic scatter and asymmetric drift as compared to the older clump giants, and can provide a much denser sampling in the outer disk than ISM gas tracers. They are bright so can be detected out to great distances, and large samples can be efficiently selected from the IPHAS r-i, r-Hα plane. The sightlines were chosen to sample the strong shear in Galactic rotation (l= 118 ̊), and as a control (l= 178 ̊). Radial velocities (RVs) and extinction-corrected spectro-photometric distances are computed for the sample of >1300 A/F stars with the aid of MCMC parameter fitting. The rotation law measured at l=118 ̊ using the RV data is sharply rising out from RG ~11 kpc, going against expectations of a flat or slowly rising law. Gaia DR2 astrometry, released in April 2018, provided proper motions for the sample. On combining these with the measured RVs and spectro-photometric distances, full space motions are obtained. The Galactocentric radial, azimuthal, and vertical velocity trends are constructed without any prior assumption about the velocity field. The measured rotation curve incorporating proper motion data is flat at l = 178 ̊, but remains sharply rising at l = 118 ̊, albeit less so than that determined using only RV data. I consider the detailed form of the observed Galactocentric trends with specific perturbers in mind, finding no clear interpretation in terms of perturbation from the central bar or spiral arms. The variation of observed trends with longitude and distance is a reflection of the complex dynamics in our Galaxy. The methods developed in this work and the use of A stars as tracers will be used in the future for fuller exploitation via spectroscopy on forthcoming massively multiplexed wide-field spectrographs. In particular, the PTMCMC method presented will be used to analyse WEAVE survey products. Future use of these young stellar tracers will help us to understand how our Galaxy is, and came to be, how it is now.

▼ Rotation has a number of important effects on the evolution of stars. Apart from structural changes because of the centrifugal force, turbulent mixing and meridional circulation can dramatically affect a star's chemical evolution. This leads to changes in the surface temperature and luminosity as well as modifying its lifetime. Rotation decreases the surface gravity, causes enhanced mass loss and leads to surface abundance anomalies of various chemical isotopes all of which have been observed. The replication of these physical effects with simple stellar evolution models is very difficult and has resulted in the use of numerous different formulations to describe the physics. We have adapted the Cambridge stellar evolution code to incorporate a number of different physical models for rotation, including several treatments of angular momentum transport in convection zones. We compare detailed grids of stellar evolution models along with simulated stellar populations to identify the key differences between them. We then consider how these models relate to observed data.
Models of rotationally-driven dynamos in stellar radiative zones have suggested that magnetohydrodynamic transport of angular momentum and chemical composition can dominate over the otherwise purely hydrodynamic processes. If this is the case then a proper consideration of the interaction between rotation and magnetic fields is essential. We have adapted our purely hydrodynamic model to include the evolution of the magnetic field with a pair of time-dependent advection – diffusion equations coupled with the equations for the evolution of the angular momentum distribution and stellar structure. This produces a much more complete, though still reasonably simple, model for the magnetic field evolution. We consider how the surface field strength varies during the main-sequence evolution and compare the surface enrichment of nitrogen for a simulated stellar population with observations.
Strong magnetic fields are also observed at the end of the stellar lifetime. The surface magnetic field strength of white dwarfs is observed to vary from very little up to 109G. As well as considering the main-sequence evolution of magnetic fields we also look at how the strongest magnetic fields in white dwarfs may be generated by dynamo action during the common envelope phase of strongly interacting binary stars. The resulting magnetic field depends strongly on the electrical conductivity of the white dwarf, the lifetime of the convective envelope and the variability of the magnetic dynamo. We assess the various energy sources available and estimate necessary lifetimes of the common envelope.

▼ The
rotation and magnetic evolution of
stars is examined in detail. Advection of angular momentum by convective plumes is a source of differential
rotation, which both reduces the angular momentum loss to stellar winds and spins up the inner regions. This spin up not only affects the
rotation of the stellar remnant, but also facilitates the winding of magnetic field lines necessary to amplify a seed field. In radiative regions we demonstrate that an embedded magnetic field can effectively mix angular momentum, as well as sustain coupling with adjacent convective zones.
In addition to the resulting angular momentum transport model, we consider a mechanism for rotationally-induced winding of a seed magnetic field. When this mechanism operates at a convective-radiative boundary which moves in a Lagrangian sense towards the convection zone, net helicity is left behind in the newly radiative material.
We employ this model of angular momentum transport and helicity deposition in stellar models of a wide range of masses. Our aim is to gauge the effect on the evolution of
rotation and the impact on the properties of stellar remnants. In low- and intermediate-mass
stars we find a quantitative agreement between the predicted and observed core and surface
rotation rates, during both the sub-giant and helium-burning phases. Continuing the evolution to the ejection of the envelope, we are able to reproduce the spin periods and magnetic fields of highly magnetic white dwarf remnants.
We find similar success in massive stellar models, by being able to reproduce both the spin periods and magnetic fields of pulsars. And in
progenitors of black holes with sufficiently high angular momentum pre-core-collapse, a portion of the infalling material can reach rotational support. This quenches the accretion onto the newly formed black hole, and may result in observable phenomena, such as high energy jets.

▼ Rotation has a number of important effects on the evolution of stars. Apart from structural changes because of the centrifugal force, turbulent mixing and meridional circulation can dramatically affect a star's chemical evolution. This leads to changes in the surface temperature and luminosity as well as modifying its lifetime. Rotation decreases the surface gravity, causes enhanced mass loss and leads to surface abundance anomalies of various chemical isotopes all of which have been observed. The replication of these physical effects with simple stellar evolution models is very difficult and has resulted in the use of numerous different formulations to describe the physics. We have adapted the Cambridge stellar evolution code to incorporate a number of different physical models for rotation, including several treatments of angular momentum transport in convection zones. We compare detailed grids of stellar evolution models along with simulated stellar populations to identify the key differences between them. We then consider how these models relate to observed data. Models of rotationally-driven dynamos in stellar radiative zones have suggested that magnetohydrodynamic transport of angular momentum and chemical composition can dominate over the otherwise purely hydrodynamic processes.

▼ Real
stars rotate, and
rotation can have profound
consequences for stellar structure and evolution. Despite this,
rotation is frequently ignored in evolved
stars, or treated in a
highly simplified fashion. Previously, the surface and interior
rotation rates of low mass red giant
stars were poorly constrained
and the uncertainty in the models could be marginalized over.
However, in an era of space-based photometry and large
spectroscopic surveys, it is now possible to measure the
rotation
rates of red giants, and to use these measurements to place novel
constraints on the physicsof these
stars. In this dissertation, I
use the newly obtained large and precise asteroseismic and
spectroscopic data sets in comparison with stellar models to better
understand red giant
stars. I have identified important differences
between data and models for evolved
stars. I have proposed
improvements to the fundamental temperature predictions of these
models, and then used the improved models to demonstrate that
current models do not adequate the rotational physics of these
stars. Using both surface and core
rotation rates and studying
trends in representative samples. I have demonstrated that the
coupling between the core and surface
rotation rates of evolved
stars are evolutionary state dependent, shown that a standard
Kawaler angular momentum loss law is insufficient for evolved
stars, found evidence for radial differential
rotation in the
convective zones of intermediate mass
stars, calculatedthat the
timescales for rotational coupling of giants are long compared to
the pre-main-sequence, and placed a lower limit on the fraction of
stars that interact on the giant branch of 10%.

▼ Stellar physics is a vital part of modern astronomy. To better understand stars, we must understand not only the stellar surface, but also the stellar interior. We can use the waves propagating in stars to probe stellar inner regions. Asteroseismology, the science that investigates the stellar waves, has been an effective tool to research stellar interiors. I conducted an observational study of the gamma Doradus stars using data from NASA's Kepler mission. These stars have masses between 1.4 and 2.0 solar masses and pulsate mainly in gravity and Rossby modes, showing period spacing patterns in the Fourier spectra. The pulsations are sensitive to the stellar structure near the upper boundary of the convective core, hence they are valuable for understanding the stellar interior. I identified period spacing patterns in more than 600 gamma Dor stars from the 4-yr Kepler data, which allowed me to measure the asymptotic spacings, the near-core rotation rates, and the radial orders. My results show that the stars rotate more slowly than predicted by the theory, and the rotation distribution shows excess at the slow-rotation side for unclear reasons. I also detected the core-to-surface rotation profiles in about 10% stars. The interiors rotate faster than the cores in most stars, but by no more than 5%. I applied my methods to the gamma Dor stars in eclipsing binaries, and compared the near-core rotation periods with the orbital periods. The results show that a star is more likely to be tidally locked if its orbital period is shorter than about 10 days. More slow rotators are seen in the eclipsing binary sample, which might be an explanation of the slow-rotator excess mentioned in the previous paragraph. Several stars have extremely slow core rotation with the orbital periods longer than 100 days, implying a new mechanism interacting between the tidal forces and the g-mode pulsations.

▼ Nos últimos cinqüenta anos, grandes
esforços foram feitos no intuito de se entender a evolução estelar.
No contexto observacional, medidas precisas da velocidade
rotacional projetada foram produzidas, em particular, pelos grupos
de Natal e Genebra. Destes dados é possível no presente momento
estabelecer o comportamento da rotação estelar do turnoff
até o ramo das gigantes vermelhas. Em adicional, estes dados têm
mostrado o papel dos efeitos de marés na rotação estelar em
sistemas binários próximos. Mesmo tendo sido feitos bons avanços c
no ambito observacional, pouca atençã tem sido dada a estudos
teóricos da evolução da rotação ao longo do diagrama HR, um tópico
que está intimamente ligado a evolução das estrelas. Basicamente,
existem dois motivos para tal fato,(i) a não suposição de simetria
esférica leva a um aumento substancial da complexidade numérica das
equações, e (ii) os modelos sem rotação têm tido bastante sucesso
na explicação de relevantes dados observacionais, incluindo as
relações entre massa e luminosidade e abundâncias químicas. Diante
do avanço do estudo da rotação, ainda restam trabalhos a serem
feitos sobre o seu papel em estágios mais tardios da evolução, uma
vez que existem discordâncias entre predições teóricas e
observacionais. No presente trabalho, nós estudamos o comportamento
evolucionário da rotação ao longo do diagrama HR, levando em conta
condições de contorno baseadas em recentes medidas de velocidade
rotacional obtidas a partir de procedimentos de alta precisão e
novos códigos evolutivos
In the past 50 years, large
efforts have been made toward the understanding of the
stellar evolution. In the observational context, large sets of
precise measurements of projected rotational velocity were
produced, in particular by the Natal and Geneva groups. From these
data, it is now possible to establish the behavior of stellar
rotation from the turnoff to the red giant branch. In
addition, these data have shown the role of tidal effects
on stellar rotation in close binary systems. Nevertheless,
relatively little attention has been paid to theoretical studies on
the evolution of rotation along the HR Diagram, a topic itself
directly associated to the evolution of the stars. Basically, there
are two reasons for such a fact, (i) spherical symmetry is not
assumed, what leads to a substantial increase in the numerical
complexity of equations and (ii) non rotating models have been very
successful in explaining relevant observational data, including the
mass-luminosity relation and chemical abundances. In spite of these
facts, it is clear that considerable work remains to be done on the
role of rotation in the later stages of the evolution, where clear
disagreements arise from confrontations between theoretical
predictions and observations. In the present work we study the
evolutionary behavior of stellar rotation along the HR Diagram,
taking into account constraint conditions issued from recent
observational survey of rotational velocity carried out with high
precision…

▼ Stellar rotation, convection, and magnetism are intricately linked in low-mass stars like the Sun. In their outer convective envelopes, the interplay of rotation and convection form a magnetic dynamo capable of sustaining both large and small scale magnetic fields. The strength of these magnetic fields are observed to grow with increasing rotation rate. The coronae of low-mass stars are heated by these magnetic fields (the exact mechanism of which remains under debate), such that the thermal pressure drives a quasi-steady outflow of plasma, referred to as a stellar wind. Due to the interaction of the large-scale magnetic field with the outflowing plasma, stellar winds are able to efficiently remove angular momentum from these stars. Therefore, the evolution of rotation for low-mass stars (on the the main sequence) is governed by their stellar winds, and by interrelation, the evolution of their magnetic activity and stellar wind output. In this thesis I attempt to better constrain the angular momentum-loss rates of the Sun and other Sun-like stars through the use of magnetohydrodynamic simulations combined with a broad range of observations. Though I do not find a concrete value for the solar case, I reduce the uncertainty in its value to within a factor of a few by locating key factors/quantities which limit our predictions, and further highlight the importance of understanding the solar angular momentum-loss rate in an astrophysical context. For the other Sun-like stars, I find the simulation results largely under-predict the angular momentum-loss rates implied by current rotation-evolution models. The reason(s) for this are uncertain, but likely involve uncertainties in both the observed magnetic field strengths and mass-loss rates of these stars, along with the under-prediction of how much of the surface magnetic field is ``opened'' by the stellar wind.

I have undertaken a program of ground- and space-based observations to measure photometric rotation periods and X-ray luminosities for late-type stars in the young open clusters IC 2391 and IC 2602. With cluster ages of ~30 Myr, IC 2391 and IC 2602 are ideal sites in which to observe conditions at the ZAMS since the solar-type stars in these clusters have not been on the main sequence long enough to undergo significant magnetic braking. The ROBAT survey of IC 2391 revealed 80 X-ray sources, 44 of which were found to be associated with stars which are now classified as new cluster members. Among the solar-type stars in both IC 2391 and IC 2602, I find a factor of ~25 spread in the distribution of rotation periods, which range from 0.21 to 4.86 day. I also find a factor of ~10-20 spread in the range of Lx about a median Lx value of ~1030 erg S-1 for both clusters. These results show conclusively that stars arrive on the ZAMS with a wide range of rotation rates and coronal activity levels. When compared to data from older clusters, such as the Pleiades and the Hyades, there is an overall decline observed in both the rotation rates and median X-ray luminosity of cluster members with increasing age, however, while the spread in the range of rotation rates decreases to a small value, the spread in the range of Lx values as a fraction of the median is observed to increase with age. This behavior is best explained through a dependence of Lx on Prot which is weak in the young clusters and strong in the older clusters. The Rossby diagram shows there is a tight correlation between Lx/ Lbol and the Rossby number, Prot divided by the convective turnover time. Young, rapidly rotating, main sequence stars lie along a plateau of magnetic saturation, where Lx has a weak dependence on rotation period, while older, more slowly rotating stars lie in a region on the Rossby diagram where Lx has a strong dependence on rotation period.

▼ I analyse an x-ray selected sample of 128 late-type (F-M)
stars. These
stars were identified as optical counterparts to serendipitous x-ray detections made by the Einstein Observatory Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey. Once identified as x-ray sources, the
stars were reobserved with an extensive program of optical observations consisting of high- and low-resolution spectroscopy and photometry. Spectral types, luminosity classes, absolute magnitudes, distances, x-ray luminosities, projected
rotation rates (v sin i), radial velocities, and binary status have been determined for the sample. I find that Lₓ is correlated with v sin i for single
stars. However, Lₓ does not correlate with Ω sin i, which leads me to believe that the correlation seen with v sin i is actually a correlation with radius. Indeed, Lₓ correlates strongly with radius (color, mass) for main sequence
stars. This result provides a plausibility argument for rotational saturation in the coronae of late-type
stars. Since this sample is flux limited, I use sky coverage and sensitivity information from the Einstein Observatory to calculate the bright end of the x-ray luminosity function for late-type
stars. It appears that previously calculated luminosity functions from optically selected samples have underestimated the number of x-ray bright F and G dwarfs. I have also discovered 8 previously uncatalogued M dwarfs within 25 pc of the sun. My sample includes only M dwarfs of spectral type M5 and earlier, 93% of which are "emission"
stars (i.e. type Me V), as well as two pre-main sequence M
stars. Arguments involving kinematics and stellar rotational velocities are used to estimate the age of these x-ray "bright" M dwarfs; they appear to be quite young (≤ 1-3 x 10⁹ yrs). Since the local space density of x-ray "bright" M dwarfs increases with mass, I infer a longer activity timescale for lower masses. M dwarfs later than M5 lie below the sample's x-ray sensitivity limit. An upper limit of log Lₓ = 27.45 is put on their coronal emission. I also present H(α) and Ca II K line fluxes for most members of the M dwarf sample and show that the H(α) and Ca II K luminosities do indeed correlate with Lₓ. However, these chromospheric luminosities are weaker functions of
rotation than Lₓ and may, in fact, represent saturated levels of activity. My results are consistent with the hypothesis that the chromosphere is heated by x-rays from the overlying corona. Finally, I discuss two unusual members of the sample which are attractive candidates for the recently proposed class of FK Comae
stars.

▼ La rotation joue un rôle majeur sur la dynamique, la structure et l'évolution séculaire des étoiles massives, souvent rotateurs rapides. Elle implique le mélange des éléments chimiques synthétisés dans leur cœur convectif, et la redistribution du moment cinétique dans leur enveloppe radiative. La rotation influence également le vent radiatif présent à leur surface, et modifie ainsi les pertes de masse et de moment cinétique associées. L'objectif de ce travail de thèse est multiple : nous cherchons à déterminer le rôle de la rotation sur les pertes de masse et de moment cinétique associées aux vents radiatifs des étoiles massives, comprendre le rôle de ces vents radiatifs sur leur évolution rotationnelle séculaire, et déterminer les implications d'une perte de moment cinétique sur la dynamique de l'enveloppe radiative de ces étoiles. Nous montrons que deux régimes de vent peuvent exister, l'un d'eux résulte en un fort flux de masse équatorial, donc en une forte perte de moment cinétique. Cette perte accrue de moment cinétique peut empêcher les étoiles massives d'atteindre une rotation critique avant la fin de la séquence principale. Enfin, l'étude du couplage entre les vents radiatifs et la dynamique de l'enveloppe radiative des étoiles massives en rotation montre que la couche de Stewartson est une caractéristique clé de l'écoulement pour le transport des éléments chimiques entre le cœur convectif et la surface des étoiles massives.
Rotation plays a major role in the dynamics, structure and secular evolution of, often rapidly rotating, massive stars. It leads to the mixing of chemical elements synthesised in their convective core, and to the transport of angular momentum in their radiative envelope. Rotation also influences the radiation-driven wind on their surface, and thus modifies the associated losses of mass and angular momentum. The objective of this thesis is multifold: we seek to determine the role of rotation on the mass and angular momentum losses associated with massive stars radiation-driven winds, to understand the role of such radiation-driven winds on their secular rotational evolution, and to determine the implications of a loss of angular momentum on the dynamics of the radiative envelope of these stars. We show that two different wind regimes can exist, one of them results in a strong equatorial mass flux, and thus in a high angular momentum loss rate. Such increased angular momentum loss may prevent massive stars from reaching critical rotation before the end of the main sequence. Regarding the coupling between radiative winds and the dynamics of the radiative envelope of massive rotating stars, we show that the Stewartson layer is a key component for the transport of chemical elements between the convective core and the surface of massive stars.

▼ L'astérosismologie permet d'obtenir des informations sur la structure interne des étoiles par l'étude de leurs pulsations. Parmi les cibles des satellites CoRot, Kepler ou Tess, il y a une part importante d'étoiles en rotation rapide dont le spectre est encore difficile à exploiter. La mauvaise compréhension de la structure du spectre est l'une des raisons de cette difficulté. Les méthodes asymptotiques sont efficaces pour comprendre l'organisation du spectre et la relier aux propriétés physiques de l'étoile. Asymptotiquement, la propagation des rayons acoustiques est décrite par un système Hamiltonien. Si l'étoile est quasi sphérique, la dynamique du système est complètement intégrable. Toutefois, la rotation aplatit l'étoile, ce qui entraîne une transition de la dynamique vers un régime mixte avec à la fois des zones intégrables et des zones chaotiques dans l'espace des phases. Dans cette thèse nous étudions les modes propres d'oscillation associés aux régions chaotiques de l'espace des phases. Les modes chaotiques usuellement étudiés, e.g. dans les billards quantiques ou les cavités optiques, ont un spectre irrégulier qui suit une distribution statistique prédite par la théorie des matrices aléatoires. Les étoiles se distinguent de ces systèmes par le fait que le milieux stellaire est fortement inhomogène. En particulier la vitesse du son est plus faible en surface de plusieurs ordres de grandeurs par rapport au cœur. Ainsi, le temps de parcours entre deux rebonds est approximativement le même pour tous les rayons acoustiques. En utilisant les outils du chaos quantique, nous montrons que cet effet provoque un espacement régulier des fréquences dans le spectre des modes chaotiques, que l'on peut relier à une moyenne de la vitesse du son dans l'intérieur stellaire. Ce résultat permet de mieux comprendre la structure asymptotique du spectre des modes de pression dans les étoiles en rotation rapide.
Asteroseismology provides information on the internal structure of stars by studying their pulsations. Among the targets of CoRot, Kepler or Tess satellites, there is an important part of rapidly rotating stars whose spectrum is still difficult to exploit. The poor understanding of the spectrum structure is one of the reasons for this difficulty. Asymptotic methods are effective to understand the organization of the spectrum and relate it to the physical properties of the star. Asymptotically, the propagation of acoustic rays is described by a Hamiltonian system. If the star is almost spherical, the dynamics of the system is completely integrable. However, the rotation flattens the star, resulting in a transition of the dynamics to a mixed regime with both integrable zones and chaotic zones in the phase space. In this thesis we study the oscillation modes associated with chaotic regions of phase space. The chaotic modes usually studied, e.g. in quantum billiards or optical cavities, have an irregular spectrum which follows a statistical distribution predicted by Random Matrix Theory. Stars differ from these systems by…

▼ This thesis presents analyses aimed at understanding the rotational properties of stars at the bottom of the main sequence. The evolution of stellar angular momentum is intertwined with magnetic field generation, mass outflows, convective motions, and many other stellar properties and processes. This complex interplay has made a comprehensive understanding of stellar angular momentum evolution elusive. This is particularly true for low-mass stars due to the observational challenges they present. At the very bottom of the main sequence (spectral type < M4), stars become fully convective. While this ‘Transition to Complete Convection’ presents mysteries of its own, observing the rotation of stars across this boundary can provide insight into stellar structure and magnetic fields, as well as their role in driving the evolution of stellar angular momentum. I present here a review of our understanding of rotational evolution in stars of roughly solar mass down to the end of the main sequence.
I detail our efforts to determine large numbers of rotational velocity measurements for M dwarfs observed by the Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). We analyzed the 714 M dwarfs as late as spectral type ~ M7, the largest sample of M dwarfs to date. Consistent with the hypothesis that fully-convective M dwarfs spin down more slowly than solar-type stars, we found that the fraction of detectably rotating stars jumped from about 10% for early to mid M dwarfs, to about 35% for late M dwarfs. We also found some interesting tension between the rotation fractions from spectroscopic studies of vsini like ours, and those expected from rotation periods derived from photometric surveys.
Finally, I describe our novel data-driven technique for rapidly estimating vsini in survey data. Rather than directly measuring the broadening of spectral lines, we leveraged the large information content of high-resolution spectral data to empirically estimate vsini. This computationally efficient technique provides a means of rapidly estimating vsini for large numbers of stars in spectroscopic survey data. Indeed, we were able to estimate vsini up to 15 km s-1 for 27,000 APOGEE spectra, in fractions of a second per spectrum.

▼ The main subject of the present PhD Thesis is the rotating relativistic polytropic models of neutron stars. The final purpose is to compute the physical characteristics of a neutron star in case of hydrostatic equillibrium, of uniform rotation with further study regarding in differential rotation, as well as in case of a neutron star embbeded in a chameleon scalar field. In order to study these problems we have to solve Einstein's equations. Because of the nonlinearity of Einstein's equations, there are not exact solutions describing motions of such objects. So, we adopt the “post-Newtonian approximation” (PNA) scheme, which is a perdurbative approximative scheme for solving Einstein's equations. Post-Newtonian expansions in general relativity are used for finding an approximate solution of the Einstein field equations for the metric tensor. As any approximation scheme, requires some small parameters characterizing the nature of the system under consideration. The post-Newtonian approximation is expanded in small parameters which express orders of deviations from Newton's law of universal gravitation. Typical parameters are the so-called relativistic parameter represents the relativistic behaviour of the system under consideration, and the so-called rotation parameter represents the distortion due to rotation. The post-Newtonian approximation scheme gives Newtonian description in the lowest order and general relativistic effects as higher order perturbations. There are many astrophysical systems where Newtonian gravity is dominant, but general relativistic gravity plays also an important role in their evolution. The present PhD Thesis consistis of six Chapters. In Chapter 1, we discuss the background physics regarding neutron stars. In Chapter 2, we describe the structure of neutron stars and present the various equations of states used for numerical comptutations. In the final part of this chapter, we develope and apply a parallel code for solving with multiprecision (of 32 digits) the problem of the undistorted polytropic model. In Chapter 3, present the theoritical background of relativistic polytropic models within the framework of PNA and the numerical method developed and used in our computations. In Chapter 4, we revisit the problem of computing uniformly rotating polytropic models by using PNA and we solve the problem in complex plane using the so-called “complex plane strategy” (CPS). We achieve to remove certain difficulties, otherwise involved in the computations of general – relativistic polytropic models simulating rapidly rotating neutron stars, and to compute results of improved accuracy when compared to corresponding results of other reliable numerical methods. In order to expand our study to fully relativistic polytropic models and compute general-relativistic polytropic models in critical rigid rotation, we develop a “hybrid approximative scheme” (HAS), in the framework of the post-Newtonian approximation (Chapter 5). We treat the differential equations governing such a model as a “complex initial…

▼ Stars with spectral type `A' (also called A-type
stars or just A-
stars) are bright intermediate mass
stars (∼1.5-2.5 M
⊙) that make up ∼1% of
stars within 25 parsecs, and ∼20% of the brightest
stars in the night sky (V < 3 mag). Most A-
stars rotate rapidly with rotational velocities that range from ∼100 to ∼200 km/s in most cases, but can exceed 300 km/s. Such rapid
rotation not only causes a star's observed properties (flux, temperature, and radius) to be inclination dependent, but also changes how the star evolves both chemically and structurally.
Herein we conduct an interferometric survey of nearby A-
stars using the CHARA Array. The long baselines of this optical/infrared interferometer enable us to measure the angular sizes of
stars as small as ∼0.2 mas, and directly map the oblate shapes of rotationally distorted
stars. This in turn allows us to more accurately determine their photospheric properties and estimate their ages and masses by comparing to evolution models that account for
rotation. To facilitate this survey, we construct a census of all 232 A-
stars within 50 parsecs (the
50PASS) and from that construct a sample of A-
stars (the
OSESNA) that lend themselves to interferometric observations with the CHARA Array (i.e., are in the northern hemisphere and have no known, bright, and nearby companions - 108
stars in total). The observations are interpreted by constructing a physical model of a rapidly rotating star from which we generate both photometric and interferometric model observations for comparison with actual observations. The stellar properties of the best fitting model are then compared to the MESA evolution models to estimate an age and a mass.
To validate this physical model and the adopted MESA code, we first determine the ages of seven members of the Ursa Major moving group, which are expected to be coeval. With the exception of one star with questionable membership, these
stars show a 1-σ spread in age of 56 Myr. This agreement validates our technique and provides a new estimate of the age for the group of 414 ± 23 Myr. We apply this validated technique to the directly-imaged `planet' host star κ Andromedae and determine its age to be 47
+27-40 Myr. This implies the companion has a mass of 22
+8-9 M
Jup and is thus more likely a brown dwarf than a giant planet. In total, we present new age and mass estimates for 55 nearby A-
stars including six members of the Hyades open cluster, five
stars with the λ Boötis chemical peculiarity, nine
stars which have an infrared excess, possibly from a debris disk, and nine pulsating
stars.
