Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The coexistence of fast and slowly rotating cool stars in ZAMS clusters – forming distinct sequences in the color vs. rotation period plane – is providing clues to differences in their pre main‐sequence angular momentum evolution. This Cool Stars 17 splinter was dedicated to a discussion of new observational and theoretical results that may help discriminate between proposed mechanisms for early angular momentum regulation and help us explain the observed ZAMS dichotomy</p> </abstract>
