Seminar
Exoplanet system architecture: Planets on peculiar orbits
Join Dr. Simon Albrecht, Aarhus University, for "Exoplanet system architecture: Planets on peculiar orbits" with host Bekki Dawson.
Abstract
The architecture of systems harboring extra solar planets is divers and surprising. This variety poses an interesting challenge, as well as an opportunity for improving our understanding of planet formation and evolution. This talk will focus on recent results pertaining to one specific aspect of exoplanet system architecture: the host star obliquity, which is the angle between the rotation axis of the host star and its orbital angular momentum.
