Most high-priority Habitable Worlds Observatory targets have measured stellar activity and rotation, but long-term magnetic activity cycles are known for fewer than 20% of them.
New data break the eccentricity multimodality of TOI-2134 c to e=0.31±0.01, refine both planets' masses and radii, and yield a 4.7σ RM obliquity of 59±31° for planet c.
TOI-1710 b has a true obliquity of 149 degrees indicating retrograde motion, favoring high-eccentricity migration via planet-planet scattering and Kozai-Lidov cycles for this tidally detached super-Neptune.
Visual binary stars exhibit two subpopulations of spin-orbit alignment divided at 31-38 AU, with close systems tightly aligned (Fisher kappa=48) and wide systems less aligned (kappa=6), consistent with distinct formation pathways.
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.
Discovery and orbital/stellar characterization of transiting brown dwarf TOI-6884b using TESS photometry corrected by ground-based RV and multi-epoch photometry.
