DESCRIPTION:Measuring the angle between an exoplanet’s orbit and its hos
 t star’s spin can provide clues regarding the formation and evolution of
  exoplanetary systems\, in particular hot Jupiters. The Rossiter-McLaughli
 n effect and Doppler Tomography are complementary methods that use establi
 shed techniques to measure this angle. Between these two methods\, the spi
 n-orbit alignment of more than 100 exoplanetary systems has been measured\
 , leading to interesting insights into planetary migration and tidal inter
 actions.\n\nI’ll give a quick overview of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect
  and Doppler Tomography for those unfamiliar with the technique\, show som
 e recent results obtained with these methods\, and look at new development
 s that may lead to major changes in the field.
