Magnetic braking is essential for angular momentum transport in late-type stars which have convective envelopes. The mechanism may be entirely responsible for the slow rotation of the present Sun, on which a braking model is normally calibrated. Recent or current satellite missions such as Helios and Ulysses have jointly revealed a more complete p…
