Measurements of Spin-Orbit Angles for Transiting Systems Toward an Understanding of the Migration History of Exoplanets /

This thesis presents accurate analyses of the spin-orbit angle for many remarkable transiting exoplanetary systems, including the first measurement of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for a multiple transiting system.   The author presents the observational methods needed to probe the spin-orbit angle...
