An Aligned Sub-Neptune Revealed with MAROON-X and a Tendency Toward Alignment for Small Planets
We present the Rossiter–McLaughlin measurement of the sub-Neptune TOI-1759A b with MAROON-X. A joint analysis with MuSCAT3 photometry and nine additional TESS transits produces a sky-projected obliquity of ∣λ∣ = 4° ± 18°. We also derive a true obliquity of ψ = 24° ± 12° making this planet consistent with full alignment albeit to <1σ. With a period
