| Abstract: |
The aim of this paper is to determine the initial rotational velocities required on the ZAMS for single stars to reach the critical velocity, sometimes called the break-up velocity, during the Main-Sequence (MS) phase. Some useful relations between Ω/Ωcrit, v/vcrit (v is the velocity at the equator), the moments of inertia, the angular momenta, the kinetic energy in the rotation and various other basic physical quantities are obtained. |
