Speaker

Description

We will discuss the initial rotation rates of massive stars, and the change of the rotation rates in single and binary
stars during their evolution, in connection to Be stars, accretion-induced spin-up and stellar mergers. We will then
consider the evolution of the core rotation of massive stars, and the corresponding expectations for the spins of compact
objects. In the end, we with highlighting currently open important questions.
