« Nearly polar orbit of a sub-Neptune » |
Shweta Dalal |
In the last two decades, the study of exoplanets has led to many
unexpected discoveries that challenged the classical theories of planetary systems formation and evolution. One such discovery is the presence of misaligned systems with very large obliquity, i.e. the angle between the spin of the planetary orbit and the the planet host star rotation. I will talk about a sub - Neptune in a multi-planet system for which we determined sky-projected obliquity. We used three methods to find the sky-projected obliquity and measured a nearly polar orbit |
