Stellar effective temperature (Teff) and Gaia DR3 G magnitude for the stellar-obliquity sample with stellar companions. Planet host stars and their corresponding stellar companions are shown as orange and blue dots, respectively. The gray lines connect each host–companion pair. The Teff distributions of the two populations are shown in the right panel. Interestingly, in our stellar-obliquity sample (consisting of hot Jupiters), the planet host is always the more massive component of a binary.
