Sean P. Matt, Allan Sacha Brun (21257585), I. Baraffe (2824631), J. Bouvier et al.

Short summary

A new scaling for stellar-wind torque, incorporating mass and Rossby number, explains why low-mass stars retain rapid rotation longer than sun-like stars and why older low-mass stars rotate slower than older sun-like stars.
