Comparison of the angular momentum loss rate predicted by the wind braking prescriptions used in this study (solid line), in Reiners & Mohanty (2012) (dotted line), and in Bouvier (2008) (dashed lines). The angular momentum loss rate is scaled to the angular momentum loss rate of the present Sun, taken to be . The scaling of the braking law is K1 = 1.8 for the prescription used in this study. The Kawaler’s scaling constant was Kw = 7.5 × 1047 for slow rotators and Kw = 3.75 × 1047 for fast rotators. Other parameters of the braking laws are summarized in Table 4.
