Abstract

This chapter summarizes the key results presented in this thesis and discusses possible directions of future studies. We specifically highlight three issues that are important to clarify the role of orbital evolution due to dynamical processes: (i) obliquities of stars hosting long-period transiting planets, (ii) origin of intermediate-period giant planets (warm Jupiters) on eccentric orbits, and (iii) possible difference between single- and multi-transiting systems.

Notes

1.
Note that such measurements are not time critical at all and thus far less demanding than the measurement of \(\lambda \) by observing a spectroscopic transit.
2.
They measured the rotation periods of 34030 main-sequence stars in the Kepler field, including 2849 stars with \(T_\mathrm{eff}>6100\,\mathrm {K}\). Among this “hot-star” sample, 569 were found to have rotation periods less than two days; this yields the fraction of 0.2.
