Components of the torque (expressed in units of J⋆) exerted on the star in the cases a,b,c,d(1,5,9,13), with αm = 0.1, when a magnetospheric ejection is launched from the star-disk magnetosphere. With the square, circle and triangle symbols are plotted approximate matching functions, indicated in each panel. Positive torque speeds the star up, negative slows it down. Top panels: Trends in torque components for cases with different stellar magnetic field strengths, as a function of the stellar rotation rate. Bottom panels: Same results as in the top panels, but given as a function of stellar magnetic field strength, organized by the different stellar rotation rates. Red lines in the left panels mark the examples of fitted lines (see text).
