Friends of Hot Jupiters II: No Correspondence Between Hot-Jupiter Spin-Orbit Misalignment and the Incidence of Directly Imaged Stellar Companions
Henry Ngo, Heather A. Knutson, Sasha Hinkley +7
Multi-star systems are common, yet little is known about a stellar companion's influence on the formation and evolution of planetary systems. For instance, stellar companions may h…
Early Excitation of Spin-Orbit Misalignments in Close-in Planetary Systems
Christopher Spalding, Konstantin Batygin
Continued observational characterization of transiting planets that reside in close proximity to their host stars has shown that a substantial fraction of such objects posses orbit…
Spin-Orbit angle distribution and the origin of (mis)aligned hot Jupiters
Aurélien Crida, Konstantin Batygin
For 61 transiting hot Jupiters, the projection of the angle between the orbital plane and the stellar equator (called the spin-orbit angle) has been measured. For about half of the…
