A backward-spinning star with two coplanar planets
Maria Hjorth, Simon Albrecht, Teruyuki Hirano +5
It is widely assumed that a star and its protoplanetary disk are initially aligned, with the stellar equator parallel to the disk plane. When observations reveal a misalignment bet…

The spin-orbit alignment of visual binaries
A. B. Justesen, S. Albrecht
The angle between the stellar spin-axis and the orbital plane of a stellar or planetary companion has important implications for the formation and evolution of such systems. A stud…
