NEID Rossiter-McLaughlin Measurement of TOI-1268b: A Young Warm Saturn Aligned with Its Cool Host Star
Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang, George Zhou +56
Close-in gas giants present a surprising range of stellar obliquity, the angle between a planet's orbital axis and its host star's spin axis. It is unclear whether the obliquities…
TOI-3362b: A Proto-Hot Jupiter Undergoing High-Eccentricity Tidal Migration
Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang, George Zhou +39
