Ponderings on the Possible Preponderance of Perpendicular Planets
Misalignments between planetary orbits and the equatorial planes of their host stars are clues about the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Earlier work found evidence for a peak near 90° in the distribution of stellar obliquities, based on frequentist tests. We performed hierarchical Bay...
