2 Orbital Distribution Cumming+08 Hot Jupiters are a Sub-class remain aligned get misaligned Inclination to stellar equator?

3 Spin-orbit evolution L orb Hot Jupiters are spinning, gaseous bodies with oblate rotational bulges In the star’s tidal gravitational field: The spin vector precesses about the orbit normal A prolate tidal bulge is raised, which tracks the star’s position L orb Dissipating the energy of the tidal bulge: the spinning planet drags prolate bulge “downstream” i) Parallelization;  || ≈10 5 yr ii) Spin synchronization;  s =  || /2 iii) Eccentricity damping;  ≈10 9 yr While i, ii, or iii are ongoing, tidal heat is generated in the planet

4 Now suppose the orbital angular momentum (L orb ) precesses due to a stellar rotational bulge or another planet that is non-coplanar Then: tidal damping on timescale  || produces a stable equilibrium obliquity th  0, called a Cassini state. Cassini States L orb ? I orbit precession rate spin precession rate J

5 Moon’s spin Lunation: Cassini's Laws 1)P rotate = P orbit 2) constant 3), L orb, and J are coplanar L orb ? I J

6 Settling into Cassini state 2 L orb Oblique Pseudo-synch (Levrard et al. 2007)

7 Breaking of Cassini state 2 Tidal heating ends L orb [Gyr]

10 Kozai Cycles Holman, Touma, Tremaine 1997, on 16 Cyg B Citations to Kozai 1962, a paper on asteroids

11 Kozai Cycles with Tidal Friction Adding… tidal effects:  time-shifted eq’m bulges spins:  rotational oblateness GR precession Equations from: Eggleton & Kiseleva- Eggleton, 2001 HD 80606b:

12 Theory of Secular Resonance  frequency g frequency 

13 i   HD 80606: Secular Resonance during Kozai cycles with tidal friction

14 Theoretical Predictions Disk migration Kozai cycles with tidal friction Planet-planet scattering with tidal friction Fabrycky & Tremaine 07 Nagasawa+08 e.g., Cresswell+07 Also, resonant-pumping (Yu & Tremaine 01, Thommes & Lissauer 03)

15 Do Tides Realign the Star? Barker & Ogilvie 2009 Only if the planet is in the run-away process of being tidally consumed.

17 Spin-orbit observations… (excluding WASP-3b: =15  10°; Kepler-8b: =-27  5°)

18  distributions Two migration mechanisms? Fabrycky & Winn 2009 1-f f  = 39  +9  -6  = 0.19 +0.18 -0.07 E=1.1x10 -5 E=34
