Evolutionary models of the rotating sun
Abstract
A new rotating stellar evolution code is developed and applied to the sun. A hydrostatic fully convective premain-sequence model is evolved to the age of the sun. As the model evolves, it accounts for angular-momentum loss via a magnetic wind and angular-momentum redistribution by rotationally induced instabilities. The resulting models have an oblateness in agreement with observed upper limits. The rotation curves show two main features: the outer layers exhibit minimal radial differential rotation, and a rapidly rotating central core is preserved. These basic features persist through a wide range of model parameters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
