CFHT monitoring of M67 & members from Gaia EDR3
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present stellar rotation periods for late K- and early M-dwarf members of the 4Gyr old open cluster M67 as calibrators for gyrochronology and tests of stellar spin-down models.
Description
Using Gaia EDR3 astrometry for cluster membership and Pan-STARRS (PS1) photometry for binary identification, we build this set of rotation periods from a campaign of monitoring M67 with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope's MegaPrime wide-field imager.
We identify 1807 members of M67, of which 294 are candidate single members with significant rotation period detections. Moreover, we fit a polynomial to the period versus color- derived effective temperature sequence observed in our data. We find that the rotation of very cool dwarfs can be explained by simple solid-body spin-down between 2.7 and 4Gyr.

We compare this rotational sequence to the predictions of gyrochronological models and find that the best match is Skumanich-like spin-down, P_rot_{propto}t^0.62^, applied to the sequence of Ruprecht 147. This suggests that, for spectral types K7-M0 with near-solar metallicity, once a star resumes spinning down, a simple Skumanich-like relation is sufficient to describe their rotation evolution, at least through the age of M67.
Additionally, for stars in the range M1-M3, our data show that spin-down must have resumed prior to the age of M67, in conflict with the predictions of the latest spin-down models.
