 inary and single star systems - Arnab Sarkar

DESCRIPTION:Magnetic braking\, a mechanism with which angular momentum is 
 lost from the system\, governs the evolution of binary stars such as catac
 lysmic variables (CVs) and AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars\, as well a
 s regulates the spin down of single stars\, like our Sun. However\, a phys
 ical phenomenon governing such a braking mechanism has yet to be made. In 
 this talk\, I will present our physically motivated Double Dynamo formalis
 m of magnetic braking\, which explains the prominent features of CVs and A
 M CVns. In addition\, I will touch upon how this model can be used to addr
 ess the problem of stellar spin down.
