Homogeneous reanalysis of 145 single-star RM systems reveals mass-dependent e-λ trends: sub-Saturns eccentric and misaligned, Jupiters misaligned only when circular, and super-Jupiters aligned at all eccentricities.
Direct imaging reveals enhanced metallicity and aligned orbit in 29 Cyg b, supporting protoplanetary disk formation near the deuterium burning limit.
Stellar spindown cannot trigger secular resonance crossings in regular peas-in-a-pod systems, requiring inner-planet migration instead, and resonance crossing times vary across stellar evolution tracks.
New obliquity measurements for two Neptunes update the sample distribution to favor aligned systems plus a random component, resembling that of more massive planets and implying shared dynamical origins.
