Starspots, spin-orbit misalignment, and active latitudes in the HAT-P-11 exoplanetary system

We present the analysis of 4 months of Kepler photometry of the K4V star HAT-P-11, including 26 transits of its “super-Neptune” planet. The transit data exhibit numerous anomalies that we interpret as passages of the planet over dark starspots. These spot-crossing anomalies preferentially occur at...
