TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence

Nicholas Saunders, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Ashley Chontos +53

The degree of alignment between a star's spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur…

A Larger Sample Confirms Small Planets Around Hot Stars Are Misaligned

Emma M. Louden, Songhu Wang, Joshua N. Winn +7

The distribution of stellar obliquities provides critical insight into the formation and evolution pathways of exoplanets. In the past decade, it was found that hot stars hosting h…

Tidal Dissipation Regimes Among the Short-Period Exoplanets

Emma Louden, Gregory Laughlin, Sarah Millholland

The efficiency of tidal dissipation provides a zeroth-order link to a planet's physical properties. For super-Earth and sub-Neptune planets in the range $R_{\oplus}\lesssim R_p \le…

Hot Stars With Kepler Planets Have High Obliquities

Emma M. Louden, Joshua N. Winn, Erik A. Petigura +5

It has been known for a decade that hot stars with hot Jupiters tend to have high obliquities. Less is known about the degree of spin-orbit alignment for hot stars with other kinds…
