Laurin Gray

Recent Ph.D.  graduate Laurin Gray and IU Professor Katherine Rhode have recently published a new paper in The Astrophysical Journal which continues their research on rotation evolution in young, low-mass stars.  Their new study focuses on rotation velocities for Sun-like stars in the open clusters IC 5070 (~1 million years old) and IC 348 (~4 million years old). These stars are akin to newborns on stellar timescales. By studying stars in the early stages of their evolution, we can learn more about the processes that helped form our Solar System billions of years ago.
