The wide variety of stars offers an equally wide variety of rotation rates and rotational evolution. From the slowly rotating stars to stars rotating close to their breakup velocities, different techniques and models have to be developed to study rotation and its effects on physical aspects of stars. In fact, one currently witnesses a complete renewal of astrophysical ideas about stellar rotation, mainly due to the development of new models including high-order effects of rotation and magnetism. This book, while not attempting to answer all questions about rotation, given that many issues still have to be further investigated, focuses on the basics and some particular aspects while aiming to show why it is important, from a physical point of view, to study stellar rotation. Based on courses given at a graduate school, these tutorial lectures will be of interest and useful to a rather broad audience of scientists and students.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;765Observations, AstronomicalAstronomy—ObservationsGeophysicsAstrophysicsSpace sciencesAstronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Geophysics/Geodesyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009Astrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030SunRotationObservations, Astronomical.Astronomy—Observations.Geophysics.Astrophysics.Space sciences.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Geophysics/Geodesy.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).523.73Rozelot Jean-Pierreedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK996466683803316Rotation of Sun and Stars774050UNISA
