A Larger Sample Confirms Small Planets Around Hot Stars Are Misaligned
Emma M. Louden, Songhu Wang, Joshua N. Winn +7
The distribution of stellar obliquities provides critical insight into the formation and evolution pathways of exoplanets. In the past decade, it was found that hot stars hosting h…

Evidence for Primordial Alignment: Insights from Stellar Obliquity Measurements for Compact Sub-Saturn Systems
Brandon T. Radzom, Jiayin Dong, Malena Rice +5
Despite decades of effort, the mechanisms by which the spin axis of a star and the orbital axes of its planets become misaligned remain elusive. Particularly, it is of great intere…

The PFS view of TOI-677 b: A spin-orbit aligned warm Jupiter in a dynamically hot system
Qingru Hu, Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang +9
TOI-677 b is part of an emerging class of ``tidally-detached'' gas giants () that exhibit large orbital eccentricities and yet low stellar obliquities. Such s…
