Distribution of sky-projected obliquity angles (∣λ∣) for transiting planets across system ages (J. Southworth 2011; https://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/jkt/tepcat/obliquity.html). This only considers planets with masses below 10 MJ (or no measured mass), Teff < 6250 K, σλ < 25°, and those with literature ages (taken from the NASA Exoplanet archive; J. L. Christiansen et al. 2025). All points are colored by the planet radius. Young systems tend to be aligned but the difference is not significant. TIDYE-1 b (IRAS 04125+2902b; star) is consistent with the few other <0.1 Gyr systems. The background shading represents rough approximations of the timescales for processes of interest for the SOYSAUCE survey.
