Abstract
We intended to compile the most complete catalog of bona fide members and
candidate members of the beta Pictoris association, and to measure their
rotation periods and basic properties from our own observations, public
archives, and exploring the literature. We carried out a multi-observatories
campaign to get our own photometric time series and collected all archived
public photometric data time series for the stars in our catalog. Each time
series was analyzed with the Lomb-Scargle and CLEAN periodograms to search for
the stellar rotation periods. We complemented the measured rotational
properties with detailed information on multiplicity, membership, and projected
rotational velocity available in the literature and discussed star by star. We
measured the rotation periods of 112 out of 117 among bona fide members and
candidate members of the beta Pictoris association and, whenever possible, we
also measured the luminosity, radius, and inclination of the stellar rotation
axis. This represents to date the largest catalog of rotation periods of any
young loose stellar association. We provided an extensive catalog of rotation
periods together with other relevant basic properties useful to explore a
number of open issues, such as the causes of spread of rotation periods among
coeval stars, evolution of angular momentum, and lithium-rotation connection.
