The HD 191939 Exoplanet System is Well-Aligned and Flat
We report the sky-projected spin-orbit angle $\lambda$ for HD 191939 b, the
innermost planet in a 6 planet system, using Keck/KPF to detect the
Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect. Planet b is a sub-Neptune with radius 3.4
$\pm$ 0.8 R$_{\oplus}$ and mass 10.0 $\pm$ 0.7 M$_{\oplus}$ with an RM
amplitude $<$1 ms$^{-1}$. We find the planet is consistent with a well-aligned
orbit, measuring $\lambda= \, $ 3.7 $\pm$ 5.0 degrees. Additionally, we place
new constraints on the mass and period of the distant super-Jupiter, planet f,
finding it to be 2.88 $\pm$ 0.26 $M_J$ on a 2898 $\pm$ 152 day orbit. With
these new orbital parameters, we perform a dynamical analysis of the system and
constrain the mutual inclination of the non-transiting planet e to be smaller
than 12 degrees relative to the plane shared by the inner three transiting
planets. Additionally, the further planet f is inclined off this shared plane,
the greater the amplitude of precession for the entire inner system, making it
increasingly unlikely to measure an aligned orbit for planet b. Through this
analysis, we show that this system's wide variety of planets are all
well-aligned with the star and nearly co-planar, suggesting that the system
formed dynamically cold and flat out of a well-aligned proto-planetary disk,
similar to our own solar system.
