Left panel: accretion (“material”) torque exerted on the non-magnetic star by the matter accreted from the disk (solid line), and the angular momentum loss rate in the wind (dashed line), in units of the stellar angular momentum multiplied by the accretion timescale. Right panel: torques exerted onto a magnetized star in the different components: flow in the wind (dashed green line), the contribution from the parts of the disk beyond Rcor (dotted blue line), and within Rcor (solid black line). The torque was measured in units of . The sign convention is such that a positive torque spins up the star. Vertical solid lines mark the time-interval in which we consider the solution as quasi-stationary. For comparisons of different cases, we average the physical quantities over such intervals.
