Title: Rotation in the Orion Flanking Fields and NGC 2264
Abstract: We have photometrically monitored  3600 young, low-mass stars in the Orion Flanking Fields and  5000 in NGC 2264, finding 281 periodic variables in Orion and 201 in NGC 2264. In this poster, we will highlight results from this work, including the fact that stars found in these clusters, which sample a range of ages and environments, including stars with and without disks, apparently do not conserve stellar angular momentum as they evolve down their convective tracks, but instead evolve at nearly constant angular velocity.
