External torques as function of mass accretion rate (lower axis) and corresponding truncation radius (upper axis) for given set of stellar parameters at 1 Myr (M_⋆ = 1.0 M_⊙, R_⋆ = 2.5 R_⊙, P_⋆ = 7 days, B_p = 1 kG). The accretion torque Γ_acc (black dotted line), the maximum spin-up torque allowed Γ_acc (K_acc = 1) (grey dotted line), the MEs torque Γ_ME (dot-dashed line), the stellar wind torque Γ_wind for Q_acc = 1% (grey dashed line) and Q_acc = 10% (black dashed line), and the total external torque Γ_ext = Γ_acc + Γ_ME + Γ_wind for Q_acc = 1% (orange solid line) and Q_acc = 10% (red solid line) are plotted.
