Orbital obliquity distributions of those transiting exoplanets with values determined from the Rossiter-McLaughlin anomaly. (a)Distribution of λ with the temperature of the host star, where it is quite evident that giant planets around hot stars are almost entirely on misaligned orbits. (b) Distribution of λ with the scaled semi-major axis, whereby giant planets whose orbital semi-major axes are ≲ 10 R tend to be on highly misaligned orbits. (c) Same distribution, but for the mass of the planet where the more massive planets present a larger sample of misaligned orbits. (d) Distribution of λ as a function of the estimated stellar age for those targets where an estimation is available (from NASA exoplanet archive September 2021). In all panels HD 332231 b is represented as the purple point.
