Abstract
In the original Letter, the moments of inertia of all stars used in the model were too large by an exact factor of 3/2, due to a conceptual error. This affects the value of the moment of inertia of the Sun that is listed in Table 1, and we include here the full, corrected table. The only change in the table is to the value of Ie. Because ...
In the original Letter, the moments of inertia of all stars used in the model were too large by an exact factor of 3/2, due to a conceptual error. This affects the value of the moment of inertia of the Sun that is listed in Table 1, and we include here the full, corrected table. The only change in the table is to the value of Ie. Because the error was a constant multiplicative factor on all moments of inertia, the only change this makes is in the value for the normalization for the torque. Specifically, all results presented in the original Letter are unchanged, except that Equation (8) should read T0 = 6.3 × 1030 erg (R∗/R⊙)3.1 (M∗/M⊙)0.5, which corresponds to the requirement that T⊙ = 6.3 × 1030 erg. (Table Presented).
