Stars hosting hot Jupiters are often observed to have high obliquities, whereas stars with multiple co-planar planets have been seen to have low obliquities. This has been interpreted as evidence that hot-Jupiter formation is linked to dynamical disruption, as opposed to planet migration through a protoplanetary disk. We used asteroseismology to measure a large obliquity for Kepler-56, a red giant star hosting two transiting co-planar planets. These observations show that spin-orbit misalignments are not confined to hot-Jupiter systems. Misalignments in a broader class of systems had been predicted as a consequence of torques from wide-orbiting companions, and indeed radial-velocity measurements revealed a third companion in a wide orbit in the Kepler-56 system.

KELT-9 b is an ultra hot Jupiter transiting a rapidly rotating, oblate early-A-type star in a polar orbit. We model the effect of rapid stellar rotation on KELT-9 bs transit light curve using photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
(tess) to constrain the planets true spin-orbit angle and to explore how KELT-9 b may be influenced by stellar gravity darkening. We constrain the host stars equatorial radius to be $1.089pm0.017$ times as large as its polar radius and its local surface brightness to vary by $sim38$% between its hot poles and cooler equator. We model the stellar oblateness and surface brightness gradient and find that it causes the transit light curve to lack the usual symmetry around the time of minimum light. We take advantage of the light curve asymmetry to constrain KELT-9 bs true spin orbit angle (${87^circ}^{+10^circ}_{-11^circ}$), agreeing with citet{gaudi2017giant} that KELT-9 b is in a nearly polar orbit. We also apply a gravity darkening correction to the spectral energy distribution model from citet{gaudi2017giant} and find that accounting for rapid rotation gives a better fit to available spectroscopy and yields a more reliable estimate for the stars polar effective temperature.
We present the analysis of 4 months of Kepler photometry of the K4V star HAT-P-11, including 26 transits of its super-Neptune planet. The transit data exhibit numerous anomalies that we interpret as passages of the planet over dark starspots. These s
pot-crossing anomalies preferentially occur at two specific phases of the transit. These phases can be understood as the intersection points between the transit chord and the active latitudes of the host star, where starspots are most abundant. Based on the measured characteristics of spot-crossing anomalies, and previous observations of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, we find two solutions for the stellar obliquity (psi) and active latitude (l): either psi = 106 and l = 19.7, or psi = 97 and l = 67 (all in degrees). If the active latitude changes with time in analogy with the butterfly diagram of the Suns activity cycle, future observations should reveal changes in the preferred phases of spot-crossing anomalies.
I study a triple star common envelope evolution (CEE) of a tight binary system that is spiraling-in inside a giant envelope and launches jets that spin-up the envelope with an angular momentum component perpendicular to the orbital angular momentum o
f the triple star system. This occurs when the orbital plane of the tight binary system and that of the triple star system are inclined to each other, so the jets are not along the triple star orbital angular momentum. The merger of the tight binary stars also tilts the envelope spin direction. If the giant is a red supergiant (RSG) star that later collapses to form a black hole (BH) the BH final spin is misaligned with the orbital angular momentum. Therefore, CEE of neutron star (NS) or BH tight binaries with each other or with one main sequence star (MSS) inside the envelope of an RSG, where the jets power a common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) event, might end with a NS/BH - NS/BH close binary system with spin-orbit misalignment. Such binaries can later merge to be gravitational waves sources. I list five triple star scenarios that might lead to spin-orbit misalignments of NS/BH - NS/BH binary systems, two of which predict that the two spins be parallel to each other. In the case of a tight binary system of two MSSs inside an asymptotic giant branch star the outcome is an additional non-spherical component to the mass loss with the formation of a messy planetary nebula.
In an effort to measure the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for the TRAPPIST-1 system, we performed high-resolution spectroscopy during transits of planets e, f, and b. The spectra were obtained with the InfraRed Doppler spectrograph on the Subaru 8.2-m t
elescope, and were supplemented with simultaneous photometry obtained with a 1-m telescope of the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope. By analyzing the anomalous radial velocities, we found the projected stellar obliquity to be $lambda=1pm 28$ degrees under the assumption that the three planets have coplanar orbits, although we caution that the radial-velocity data show correlated noise of unknown origin. We also sought evidence for the expected deformations of the stellar absorption lines, and thereby detected the Doppler shadow of planet b with a false alarm probability of $1.7,%$. The joint analysis of the observed residual cross-correlation map including the three transits gave $lambda=19_{-15}^{+13}$ degrees. These results indicate that the the TRAPPIST-1 star is not strongly misaligned with the common orbital plane of the planets, although further observations are encouraged to verify this conclusion.
The turbulent environment from which stars form may lead to misalignment between the stellar spin and the remnant protoplanetary disk. By using hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we demonstrate that a wide range of stellar obliquities
may be produced as a by-product of forming a star within a turbulent environment. We present a simple semi-analytic model that reveals this connection between the turbulent motions and the orientation of a star and its disk. Our results are consistent with the observed obliquity distribution of hot Jupiters. Migration of misaligned hot Jupiters may, therefore, be due to tidal dissipation in the disk, rather than tidal dissipation of the star-planet interaction.
