Left: RV measurements obtained with KPF during the transit of TOI-560 b on UTC 2024 December 16. The top panel shows the observed velocities together with model realizations drawn from the posterior distribution (light pink curves); the dark purple curve denotes the best-fitting model, corresponding to a sky-projected obliquity of λb = −25 ± 16. The lower panel displays the residuals after subtracting the best-fit model. Middle and right: phase-folded, normalized TESS light curves of TOI-560 b (middle) and TOI-560 c (right), shown as a function of time from midtransit. The data were obtained at a 2 minute cadence. Pink points with blue outlines represent the binned photometry, while the light red curves indicate 20 random posterior samples. The dark purple curve shows the median transit model from allesfitter. Residuals relative to the best-fit model are shown in the lower panels.
