Distribution of spin–orbit angles as a function of the stellar effective temperature. Circles represent projected obliquities λ and diamonds true obliquities ψ. Exoplanets from the survey described in DREAM I are highlighted as blue symbols. The blue bars on top of the plots count the percentage of misaligned systems (λ or ψ > 30°) within each Teff bin. The top panel encompasses all systems with a known spin–orbit angle, whereas the bottom panels are subsets with only hot Jupiters (left) and sub-Saturns (right). The gray histogram on the right of the top plot counts the number of measurements within each spin–orbit angle bin. The color map represents a smoothed number-density of planets to guide the eye. The Kraft break (Teff = 6250 K) is shown as a magenta vertical line.
