When studying the axial rotation of the components of binary systems, we ask the following fundamental question: How much is axial rotation affected by the other star? In particular, is there any synchronism between the periods of axial rotation and orbital revolution?

Thus in fact we are more interested here in the angular than in the linear velocity of rotation. It was pointed out by McNally (1965) that the angular velocity of rotation reaches its maximum near A5 and drops off rather rapidly on both sides so that the GOV and 05V stars have approximately the same average period of rotation. The accompanying Table I is an adaptation of McNally’s figures.
