A paper led by IU Astronomy Post-Baccalaureate Researcher Jace Rusznak describing the orbital alignment trends of the most massive known exoplanets has been accepted to the Astrophysical Journal Letters for publication. The paper investigates a massive planet 13 times the mass of Jupiter, XO-3b. This target is the first known planet to have an orbit misaligned with the rotational axis of its host star, and has been the subject of controversy over the past 17 years due to disagreements in the measured level of misalignment.
