The Oblique Orbit of WASP-107b from K2 Photometry
Observations of nine transits of WASP-107 during the K2 mission reveal three separate occasions when the planet crossed in front of a starspot. The data confirm the stellar rotation period to be 17 days - approximately three times the planet's orbital period - and suggest that large spots persi...
