Rotation velocities in Pleiades and {alpha}Per

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We investigate to what extent the spin axes of stars in young open clusters are aligned.

Description

Assuming that the spin vectors lie uniformly within a conical section, with an opening half-angle between {lambda}=0{deg} (perfectly aligned) and {lambda}=90{deg} (completely random), we describe a Monte Carlo modelling technique that returns a probability density for this opening angle given a set of measured sini values, where i is the unknown inclination angle between a stellar spin vector and the line of sight.
