The vast majority of well studied giant-planet systems, including the solar system, are nearly
coplanar, which implies dissipation within a primordial gas disk. However, intrinsic instability
may lead to planet–planet scattering, which often produces non-coplanar, eccentric orbits.
Planet scattering theories have been developed to explain observed high-eccentricity
systems and also hot Jupiters; thus far their predictions for mutual inclination (I) have barely
been tested. Here we characterize a highly mutually inclined ($ I={24} _ {-8}^{+ 11} $
Abstract
The vast majority of well studied giant-planet systems, including the solar system, are nearly coplanar, which implies dissipation within a primordial gas disk. However, intrinsic instability may lead to planet–planet scattering, which often produces non-coplanar, eccentric orbits. Planet scattering theories have been developed to explain observed high-eccentricity systems and also hot Jupiters; thus far their predictions for mutual inclination (I) have barely been tested. Here we characterize a highly mutually inclined (
