Prospects for the Characterization and Confirmation of Transiting Exoplanets via the Rossiter‐McLaughlin Effect
The Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect is the distortion of stellar spectral lines that occurs during eclipses or transits, due to stellar rotation. We assess the future prospects for using the RM effect to measure the alignment of planetary orbits with the spin axes of their parent stars, and to confirm exoplanetary …
