[48.13] Rotational Evolution of Young Low-Mass Stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster

L. M. Rebull (NRC/NASA-JPL)

Recently, several major studies have published rotation rates of young, low-mass (T Tauri) stars in and around the Trapezium (Carpenter et al.\ 2001, Rebull 2001, Herbst et al.\ 2000, and Stassun et al.\ 1999). These combined efforts have produced periods for 715 stars of ~8000 stars monitored. We have combined data from the literature with new data to produce a multi-wavelength database (N-band through X-rays) for these stars. This poster discusses the new results we have obtained using this database, including relationships between stellar period, radius, specific angular momentum (j), disk properties, age, and mass.
