Temporal evolution of the torques acting directly onto the star, normalized to the stellar angular momentum. Plotted are the accretion torque (solid line), the stellar wind torque (dotted line), and the torque exerted by the MEs onto the stellar surface (dashed line). Conventionally, a positive (negative) torque spins the stellar rotation up (down).
