Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Vol. 131, No. 995, 2019 January Angular Momentum of Stars and their Plan... To understand the distribution of angular momenta between host stars ...

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding ...

When they are formed, neutron stars rotate in space. As they compress and shrink, this spinning speeds up because of the conservation of angular momentum—the same principle that causes a ...

ONE of the main difficulties to be met by any theory about the origin of the solar system is the difficulty of accounting for the present distribution of its angular momentum.

Angular momentum is crucial to cosmic rotation ... but observations reveal that stars farther from the centre rotate at the same rate as those closer to the core. This anomaly suggests the ...

At first the circumstellar disk is in a phase called an accretion disk, where mass is transported inward toward the star and angular momentum is transported outward. Planet formation likely occurs ...

There are clear cross-curricular links with geography and geology (earthquakes), and with astronomy on how angular momentum is conserved in spinning neutron stars and black holes. These short ...
