Measuring the projected obliquity
l = –1.4° ± 1.1°Winn et al. (2006);see also Triaud et al. (2009)
Low obliquity

l = 37.3° ± 3.0°Hirano et al. (2011);see also Hébrard et al. (2008), Winn et al. (2009)
Moderate obliquity

High obliquity (retrograde)

Problem: Orbit decays on same timescale as realignment
Solution: Realign only the convective zone?
Reality
Constant-Q model
Different Q’s for realignment and orbital decay(D. Lai, in preparation)
