The activity and rotation limit in the Hyades
read the original abstract
We conduct a study of K to M type stars to investigate the activity and the rotation limit in the Hyades. We use a sample of 40 stars in this intermediate-age cluster (~625 Myr) to probe stellar rotation in the threshold region where stellar activity becomes prevalent. Here we present projected equatorial velocities (vsin i) and chromospheric activity measurements (H{\alpha}) that indicate the existence of fast rotators in the Hyades at spectral types where also the fraction of stars with H{\alpha} emission shows a rapid increase ("H{\alpha} limit"). The locus of enhanced rotation (and activity) thus seems to be shifted to earlier types in contrast to what is seen as the rotation limit in field stars. The relation between activity and rotation appears to be similar to the one observed in fields stars.
