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

Planets in Binaries On long timescales (secular approx.): Semimajor axis a is conserved e oscillates dramatically if i crit <i<180 - i crit i crit =cos -1 [(3/5) 1/2 ]=39.2 and both vary as well i pericenter ~40 systems known Orbital inclination relative to stellar equator (a.k.a. stellar obliquity): varies for distant planets constant for hot Jupiters
