Results of the ROTOR-program. II. The long-term photometric variability of weak-line T Tauri stars (2008)

Grankin, K. N., Bouvier, J., Herbst, W., Melnikov, S. Yu.

T Tauri stars exhibit variability on all timescales, whose origin is still debated. On WTTS the variability is fairly simple and attributed to long-lived, ubiquitous cool spots. We investigate the...

The rotation of young low-mass stars and brown dwarfs (2007)

Herbst, W., Eislöffel, J., Mundt, R., Scholz, A.

We review the current state of our knowledge concerning the rotation and angular momentum evolution of young stellar objects and brown dwarfs from a primarily observational viewpoint. There has been...

Evidence for Differential Rotation on a T Tauri Star (2006)

Herbst, W., Dhital, S., Francis, A., Lin, L., Tresser, N., Williams, E.
