TOI-1670 c, a 40-day Orbital Period Warm Jupiter in a Compact System, is Well-aligned
We report the measurement of the sky-projected obliquity angle of
the Warm Jovian exoplanet TOI-1670 c via the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect as part
of the Stellar Obliquities in Long-period Exoplanet Systems (SOLES) project. We
observed the transit window during UT 20 April 2023 for 7 continuous hours with
NEID on the 3.5 m WIYN Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. TOI-1670
hosts a sub-Neptune (P ~11 days; planet b) interior to the Warm Jovian (P ~40
days; planet c), which presents an opportunity to investigate the dynamics of a
Warm Jupiter with an inner companion. Additionally, TOI-1670 c is now among the
longest-period planets to date to have its sky-projected obliquity angle
measured. We find planet c is well-aligned to the host star, with =
-0.3 +/- 2.2 degrees. TOI-1670 c joins a growing census of aligned Warm
Jupiters around single stars and aligned planets in multi-planet systems.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, 1 table. Accepted to ApJ Letter
