First obliquity measurement in an M dwarf binary shows alignment, with tentative evidence that aligned orbits around cool stars and wide separations also hold for brown dwarfs and binaries.
Simulations show that von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai migration from inclined companions produces misaligned short-period hot Jupiters while coplanar high-eccentricity migration preserves alignment at longer periods.
Dynamical tides exciting f-modes during high-eccentricity migration produce the hot Jupiter pile-up, Neptune ridge, and Neptune desert via orbital circularization and selective atmospheric mass loss.
Mini-neptunes exhibit an anti-correlation between orbital period and eccentricity unlike super-earths, implying the two populations are dynamically distinct.
Planetesimal disks with 1-4% of the planetary mass disrupt resonant Neptune chains, triggering instabilities that scatter planets to ~0.1 au orbits and enable hot Neptune formation on 10-100 Myr timescales.
A brown-dwarf companion's close pericenter in KELT-20 imposes dynamical limits that disfavor giant planet formation beyond the water-ice line.
A transit search on TESS Cycle 1 full-frame images produced 10,091 new planet candidates down to T=16 mag, more than doubling the known TESS total, with one hot Jupiter confirmed by radial velocity.
Giant planet multiplicity is low, with 10.6% and 15.8% of Sun-like stars hosting at least one giant planet within 10 au across the two surveys, mostly as singles, inconsistent with scattering models.
New obliquity measurements for two Neptunes update the sample distribution to favor aligned systems plus a random component, resembling that of more massive planets and implying shared dynamical origins.
