Unified Kraft Break at ~6500 K: A Newly Identified Single-Star Obliquity Transition Matches the Classical Rotation Break
Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang, J. M. Joel Ong
The stellar obliquity transition, defined by a cut separating aligned from misaligned hot Jupiter systems, has long been assumed to coincide with the rotatio…
Early Evidence for Polar Orbits of Sub-Saturns Around Hot Stars
Emma Dugan, Xian-Yu Wang, Agustin Heron +4
Sub-Saturns have been reported to preferentially occupy near-polar orbits, but this conclusion has so far been based primarily on systems with cool host stars; obliquity measuremen…
Planet Across Space and Time (PAST). VII. The origin and tidal evolution of hot Jupiters constrained by a broken age-frequency relation
Di-Chang Chen, Ji-Wei Xie, Ji-Lin Zhou +4
The discovery of hot Jupiters has challenged the classical planet formation theory. Although various formation mechanisms have been proposed, the dominant channel and relative cont…
Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) II: Super-Jupiters and Lithium-rich Host Stars
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +30
Although hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets discovered orbiting main sequence stars, the dominant mechanisms through which they form and evolve are not known. To address the qu…
TOI-880 is an Aligned, Coplanar, Multi-planet System
Elina Y. Zhang, Huan-Yu Teng, Fei Dai +22
Although many cases of stellar spin-orbit misalignment are known, it is usually unclear whether a single planet's orbit was tilted or if the entire protoplanetary disk was misalign…
Short-Period Small Planets with High Mutual Inclinations are more Common around Metal-Rich Stars
Xinyan Hua, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Dongsheng An +7
We present a correlation between the stellar metallicities and the mutual inclinations of multi-planet systems hosting short-period small planets (a/Rs<12, Rp<4Re). We analyzed 89…
