dc.description.abstractTOI-2076 b is a sub-Neptune-sized planet (R = 2.39 + 0.10 R-circle plus) that transits a young (204 + 50 MYr) bright (V= 9.2) K-dwarf hosting a system of three transiting planets. Using spectroscopic observations obtained with the NEID spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5 m Telescope, we model the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect of TOI-2076 b, and derive a sky-projected obliquity of lambda = - 3 (-15) (+16) . Using the size of the star (R = 0.775 + 0.015 R-?), and the stellar 16 rotation period (P-rot = 7.27 + 0.23 days), we estimate an obliquity of y =18(-9) (+10) (psi < 34 degrees at 95% confidence), 10 demonstrating that TOI-2076 b is in a well-aligned orbit. Simultaneous diffuser-assisted photometry from the 3.5 m telescope at Apache Point Observatory rules out flares during the transit. TOI-2076 b joins a small but growing sample of young planets in compact multi-planet systems with well-aligned orbits, and is the fourth planet with an age ?300 Myr in a multi-transiting system with an obliquity measurement. The low obliquity of TOI-2076 b and the presence of transit timing variations in the system suggest the TOI-2076 system likely formed via convergent disk migration in an initially well-aligned disk.
