Rossby Number or Rotation Period?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
It is shown that the scaling of rotation periods by a color-dependent parameter (turnover time) improves substantially the observed activity-period relations only for single, main sequence, solar type stars with 0.5 ≲ B – V ≲ 0.8. For other single main sequence stars and for single giants activity indices correlate equally well with rotation period and the Rossby number, or show no correlation with either parameter.
