Stellar Spins in the Open Cluster NGC 2516

Measuring the distribution of stellar spin axis orientations in a coeval group of stars probes the physical processes underlying the stars' formation. In this paper, we use spectrophotometric observations of the open cluster NGC 2516 to determine the degree of spin alignment among its stars. We...
