الوصف: | HIP 65426 hosts a young giant planet that has become the first exoplanet directly imaged with JWST. Using time-series photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we classify HIP 65426 as a high-frequency $\delta$ Scuti pulsator with a possible large frequency separation of $\Delta \nu =$7.23$\pm$0.02 cycles day$^{-1}$. We check the TESS data for pulsation timing variations and use the nondetection to estimate a 95% dynamical mass upper limit of 12.8 Mjup for HIP 65426 b. We also identify a low-frequency region of signal that we interpret as stellar latitudinal differential rotation with two rapid periods of 7.85$\pm$0.08 hr and 6.67$\pm$0.04 hr. We use our TESS rotation periods together with published values of radius and $v \sin{i}$ to jointly measure the inclination of HIP 65426 to $i_{\star}=107_{-11}^{+12}$$^\circ$. Our stellar inclination is consistent with the orbital inclination of HIP 65426 b ($108_{-3}^{+6}$$^{\circ}$) at the $68\%$ percent level based on our orbit fit using published relative astrometry. The lack of significant evidence for spin-orbit misalignment in the HIP 65426 system supports an emerging trend consistent with preferential alignment between imaged long-period giant planets and their host stars. Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures, 2 tables. Accepted to AJ after minor constructive revisions. Uncertainty on HIP65426 inclination is now more realistic; Figures 5 and 7 are updated accordingly |
