Stellar Rotation in the Young Cluster M17
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We constructed line profile models for young OB stars in M17 using TLUSTY and SYNSPEC, including the effects of rotational flattening and gravitational darkening. The values of v sin i for 8 member stars (with spectral classifications O4.5 V to O9 V) range from 7 km s–1 to 168 km s–1. The mean value of v sin i (102 km s–1) is lower than expected for very young clusters.
