Single-Star Warm-Jupiter Systems Tend to Be Aligned, Even Around Hot Stellar Hosts: No Dependency

Xian-Yu Wang, Malena Rice, Songhu Wang +22

The stellar obliquity distribution of warm-Jupiter systems is crucial for constraining the dynamical history of Jovian exoplanets, as the warm Jupiters' tidal detachment likely pre…

SOLES XII. The Aligned Orbit of TOI-2533 b, a Transiting Brown Dwarf Orbiting an F8-type Star

Thiago Ferreira, Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang +1

Brown dwarfs occupy a middle ground in mass space between gaseous giant planets and ultra-cool dwarf stars, and the characterisation of their orbital orientations may shed light on…

Evidence for Low-Level Dynamical Excitation in Near-Resonant Exoplanet Systems

Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang +18

The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely…

SOLES VII: The Spin-Orbit Alignment of WASP-106 b, a Warm Jupiter Along the Kraft Break

Josette Wright, Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang +2

Although close-orbiting, massive exoplanets -- known as hot and warm Jupiters -- are among the most observationally accessible known planets, their formation pathways are still not…

The Spin-Orbit Misalignment of TOI-1842b: The First Measurement of the Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect for a Warm Sub-Saturn around a Massive Star

Kyle Hixenbaugh, Xian-Yu Wang, Malena Rice +1

The mechanisms responsible for generating spin-orbit misalignments in exoplanetary systems are still not fully understood. It is unclear whether these misalignments are related to…

A Tendency Toward Alignment in Single-Star Warm Jupiter Systems

Malena Rice, Songhu Wang, Xian-Yu Wang +9

The distribution of spin-orbit angles for systems with wide-separation, tidally detached exoplanets offers a unique constraint on the prevalence of dynamically violent planetary ev…
