Spin and Obliquity Evolution of Hot Jupiter Hosts from Resonance Locks
J. J. Zanazzi, Eugene Chiang
When a hot Jupiter orbits a star whose effective temperature exceeds 6100 K, its orbit normal tends to be misaligned with the stellar spin axis. Cooler stars typically have s…

Damping Obliquities of Hot Jupiter Hosts by Resonance Locking
J. J. Zanazzi, Janosz Dewberry, Eugene Chiang
When orbiting hotter stars, hot Jupiters are often highly inclined relative to their host star equator planes. By contrast, hot Jupiters orbiting cooler stars are more aligned. Pri…
