We present spectroscopic measurements of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for the planet b of Kepler-9 multi-transiting planet system. The resulting sky-projected spin-orbit angle is $\lambda=-13^{\circ} \pm 16^{\circ}$, which favors an aligned system and strongly disfavors highly misaligned, polar, and retrograde orbits. Including Kepler-9, there are now a total of 4 Rossiter-McLaughlin effect measurements for multiplanet systems, all of which are consistent with spin-orbit alignment.

  1. Warm Sub-Saturns Orbiting Single Stars Are Spin-Orbit Aligned

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Warm sub-Saturns around single cool stars are predominantly aligned whereas hot sub-Saturns are frequently misaligned (3.2σ), a separation-dependent transition the authors attribute to high-eccentricity migration.
