Abstract

The rotation of post-Z.A.M.S. cool-stars is reviewed. Once off the main sequence, cool stars seem to shift from internal uniform to differential rotation. Intermediate mass stars may encounter a “rotational boundary,” which collapses their surface rotations to a quasi-δ-function thereafter. This boundary occurs at ~G5111 and may extend down to the late-F-dwarfs. If so, the rotation of solar-type dwarfs could be controlled between narrow limits by a “rotostat”.
