cds-question@unistra.frstellar-distancemetallicityeffective-temperaturestellar-massesvisible-astronomyA curious rotation period distribution in the colour-magnitude-period diagram (CMPD) of the Kepler field was recently revealed, thanks to data from Gaia and Kepler spacecraft. It was found that redder and brighter stars are spinning slower than the rest of the main sequence. On the theoretical side, it was demonstrated that metallicity should affect the rotational evolution of stars as well as their evolution in the Hertzprung-Russel or colour-magnitude diagram. In this work, we combine this data set with medium- and high-resolution spectroscopic metallicities and carefully select main-sequence single stars in a given mass range. We show that the structure seen in the CMPD also corresponds to a broad correlation between metallicity and rotation, such that stars with higher metallicity rotate, on average, more slowly than those with low metallicity. We compare this sample to theoretical rotational evolution models that include a range of different metallicities. They predict a correlation between rotation rate and metallicity that is in the same direction and of about the same magnitude as that observed. Therefore, metallicity appears to be a key parameter to explain the observed rotation period distributions. We also discuss a few different ways in which metallicity can affect the observed distribution of rotation period, due to observational biases and age distributions, as well as the effect on stellar wind torques.2020MNRAS.499.3481Ahttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/499/3481CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toI/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)V/133 : Kepler Input Catalog (Kepler Mission Team, 2009)I/347 : Distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia DR2J/ApJS/211/24 : Rotation periods of Kepler MS stars (McQuillan+, 2014)III/284 : APOGEE-2 data from DR16 (Johnsson+, 2020)J/AJ/155/181 : LAMOST/SP_Ace DR1 catalog (Boeche+, 2018)J/A+A/594/A39 : LAMOST-Kepler parameters and activity indicatorsJ/ApJ/836/5 : Abundances of LAMOST giants from APOGEE DR12 (Ho+, 2017)V/164 : LAMOST DR5 catalogs (Luo+, 2019)J/ApJS/229/30 : Revised stellar properties of Q1-17 Kepler targetsJ/ApJS/239/32 : APOKASC-2 catalog of Kepler evolved starshttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/499/3481https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/499/3481http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/499/3481https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/499/3481https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/499/3481http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/499/3481GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/499/3481/catalog (Full Gaia-Kepler-metallicity data base)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/499/3481/catalog?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/499/3481/catalog?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/499/3481/catalog?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true291.20236.85080.0055555555555555564/922-923 933-935 944-946 5/3645-3647 3683 3704 3706 3729-3731 3760 3788-3789 3792-3793 6/14559 14567 14573 14575 14577-14579 14730-14731 14738 14744 14746-14747 14749-14751 14792 14794-14795 14822 14828 14830-14831 14914-14915 15044-15045 15056-15057 15059-15062 15160-15161 15176-15178 15200 15202 15232-152331.9867573869263685e-19 3.916500758235022e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/499/3481?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/MNRAS/499/3481/catalogFull Gaia-Kepler-metallicity data baseSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharnullablerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
