Abstract

This chapter aims at providing the most complete review of both theemerging concepts and the latest observational results regarding theangular momentum evolution of young low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. Inthe time since Protostars & Planets V, there have been majordevelopments in the availability of rotation period measurements atmultiple ages and in different star-forming environments that areessential for testing theory. In parallel, substantial theoreticaldevelopments have been carried out in the last few years, including thephysics of the star-disk interaction, numerical simulations of stellarwinds, and the investigation of angular momentum transport processes instellar interiors. This chapter reviews both the recent observationaland theoretical advances that prompted the development of renewedangular momentum evolution models for cool stars and brown dwarfs. Whilethe main observational trends of the rotational history of low massobjects seem to be accounted for by these new models, a number ofcritical open issues remain that are outlined in this review.
