A Third Exoplanetary System with Misaligned Orbital and Stellar Spin Axes

A Third Exoplanetary System with Misaligned Orbital and Stellar Spin Axes

We presented evidence that the WASP-14 exoplanetary system has misaligned orbital and stellar-rotational axes, with an angle of 33.1 plus or minus 7.4 degrees between their sky projections. At the time of this publication, WASP-14 was the third system known to have a significant spin-orbit misalignm...
