Stellar physics The field of astrophysics concerned with the study of the physical characteristics of stars, more specifically their internal structure, physical processes taking place in their interiors, atmospheres , stellar winds, mass loss, interaction with the interstellar medium, as well as the physical laws governing star formation.

Stellar rotation The spinning of a star about its axis, due to its angular momentum. Stars do not necessarily rotate as solid bodies, and their angular momentum may be distributed non-uniformly, depending on radius or latitude. Thus the equator of the star can rotate at a different angular velocity than the higher latitudes. These differences in the rate of rotation within a star may have a significant role in the generation of a stellar magnetic field. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
