Evolution of accretion torque Γacc (dotted line), ME’s torque ΓME (solid line), stellar wind torque Γwind (short dashed line), and positive torque due to stellar contraction (long dashed line) as function of time for median rotator with Qacc = 1% and acc,init = 10−7 M yr−1 (upper panel), acc,init = 10−8 M yr−1 (upper middle panel), acc,init = 10−9 M yr−1 (lower middle panel), and acc,init = 10−10 M yr−1 (lower panel). The red solid line is the sum of all of these torque contributions. The blue solid line represents the zero torque condition leading to a constant angular velocity during the disk accretion phase. The grey solid line shows the evolution of Rt/Rco.
