Spin-down of Solar-mass Protostars in Magnetospheric Accretion Paradigm by Shinsuke Takasao, Masanobu Kunitomo, Takeru K. Suzuki, Kazunari Iwasaki, Kengo Tomida

“…Nevertheless, stellar spin-down mechanisms in protostellar and pre-main-sequence stellar phases have been a long-standing problem in star formation theory. To realize the spin-down, previous axisymmetric models based on the conventional magnetospheric paradigm have had to assume massive stellar winds or produce highly time-variable magnetospheric ejections. …”
