The Primordial Origin and Dynamical Sculpting of Close-In Planetary System Architectures

<p>For centuries, planet formation theories were tuned to reproduce the remarkable coplanarity of our Solar System. Specifically, the eight planetary orbital planes exhibit mutual inclinations limited to ~1−2 degrees. Furthermore, the misalignment between the Sun's spin axis and the orbit...
