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…
TOI-2490b- The most eccentric brown dwarf transiting in the brown dwarf desert
Beth A. Henderson, Sarah L. Casewell, Andrés Jordán +40
We report the discovery of the most eccentric transiting brown dwarf in the brown dwarf desert, TOI02490b. The brown dwarf desert is the lack of brown dwarfs around main sequence s…
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…
