Description

As Solar-type stars approach the main sequence, they contract and spin more rapidly; once they reach the main sequence, they stop contracting and their spin speed decreases. This spin-down is thought to be caused by angular momentum lost via stellar winds, but there are currently limited constraints on model behavior at this critical age. We use TESS full-frame images to measure rotation periods for stars in five young open clusters in the Southern Sky. We will present preliminary results on the rotation of Solar-type stars at the ZAMS.
