Secular evolution of the obliquities of TOI-1710 from four-body secular integrations. The semimajor axis of the intermediate companion varies across panels. The obliquity evolution of TOI-1710 A b (red) and the hypothetical intermediate companion X (blue) are shown. The companion mass is fixed at 9 MJ, and the initial mutual inclination with the M dwarf is iXB = 55°. The green region marks the 2σ constraints on the obliquity of the observed planet, with the fraction of time spent within this region indicated by fobs. Panels (a) and (c) remain within the allowed window for much less time than panel (b). In all cases, the eccentricity of planet b remains nearly the same as the initial value.
