the loss of a star's angular momentum through a magnetized wind whose field enforces corotation out to large radii, slowing the star's spin.

In astrophysics, magnetic braking refers to the loss of a star's angular momentum through a magnetized wind whose field enforces corotation out to large radii, slowing the star's spin. This meaning comes from Weber (1967) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
