Spin and Obliquity Evolution of Hot Jupiter Hosts from Resonance Locks

When a hot Jupiter orbits a star whose effective temperature exceeds ∼6100 K, its orbit normal tends to be misaligned with the stellar spin axis. Cooler stars typically have smaller obliquities, which may have been damped by hot Jupiters in resonance lock with axisymmetric stellar gravity modes (azi...
