🚨 My group had a second paper out this week. Lead on this one: Michael Poon.
We speculate about whether exomoons could push planets in multi-planetary systems on a high obliquity state. The answer is yes! The exomoon helps tilting the planet because it acts like a lever, thus enhancing a spin-orbit resonance. The idea is quite general. But we apply it specifically to β Pictoris b where an upcoming JWST observations will constrain the planet's obliquity.
