Inferred stellar obliquity distributions for the samples of Jupiter and Neptune hosts. This inference was based on sky-projected obliquity measurements, following the methodology of J. Dong & D. Foreman-Mackey (2023), without including information about the stellar inclination. The solid line shows the median distribution, and random samples from the posteriors are shown in the background. (a) Distribution derived by J. I. Espinoza-Retamal et al. (2024) for a sample of 27 Neptune host stars (green). (b) Distribution derived in this work for the expanded sample of 45 Neptune host stars (green). (c) Distribution derived in this work for the sample of 235 Jupiter host stars (black). (d) Distribution derived in this work for the sample of 150 Jupiter host stars with Teff ≤ 6250 K (blue). (e) Distribution derived in this work for the sample of 85 Jupiter host stars with Teff > 6250 K (blue).
