The TESS-Keck Survey IV: A Retrograde, Polar Orbit for the Ultra-Low-Density, Hot Super-Neptune WASP-107b

We measured the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect of WASP-107b during a single transit with Keck/HIRES. We found the sky-projected inclination of WASP-107b’s orbit, relative to its host star’s rotation axis, to be $|\lambda| = 118^{+38}_{-19}$ degrees. This …
