Orbital and obliquity evolution for Kepler-62 f at point a in Figure 5, with ﹩{P}_{\mathrm{rot}}=0.595﹩ days and ﹩{\varepsilon }_{0}=15^\circ ﹩. The quantity ﹩\psi +{\rm{\Omega }}﹩ is plotted rather than ψ, because this angle is diagnostic of secular resonances and Cassini states. Here, the planet is well away from resonance, and ﹩\psi +{\rm{\Omega }}﹩ circulates.
