Effects of rotation and magnetic fields on the structure and surface abundances of solar-type stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 April 2010
Abstract
The effects of shellular rotation on the modelling of solar-type stars (in particular internal structure, evolutionary tracks in the HR diagram, lifetimes and surface abundances) are first examined. Then the effects of a dynamo possibly occuring in the internal stellar radiative zone by imposing nearly solid body rotation are studied. These results are finally discussed in the context of the rotational history of exoplanet host stars and the link between lithium depletion and the presence of exoplanets.
