Abstract

We report the measurement of the sky-projected obliquity angle $\lambda$ of the Warm Jovian exoplanet TOI-1670 c via the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect as part of the Stellar Obliquities in Long-period Exoplanet Systems (SOLES) project. We observed the transit window during UT 20 April 2023 for 7 continuous hours with NEID on the 3.5 m WIYN Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. TOI-1670 hosts a sub-Neptune (P ~11 days; planet b) interior to the Warm Jovian (P ~40 days; planet c), which presents an opportunity to investigate the dynamics of a Warm Jupiter with an inner companion. Additionally, TOI-1670 c is now among the longest-period planets to date to have its sky-projected obliquity angle measured. We find planet c is well-aligned to the host star, with $\lambda$ = -0.3 +/- 2.2 degrees. TOI-1670 c joins a growing census of aligned Warm Jupiters around single stars and aligned planets in multi-planet systems.<br />Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, 1 table. Accepted to ApJ Letters
