The distribution of the rotation axes of A-type stars

The distribution of the spin axes of A-type stars was studied using a sample of 166 normal A2–A9 field stars of luminosity classes IV or V. No dependence of the projected rotational velocities υ sin i on galactic latitude was found, and so the spin axes are not aligned perpendicular to the galactic...
