Locations and widths of secular spin–orbit resonances for the exoplanet HIP 41378 f for different parameters of a hypothetical moon. The moon is placed on its Laplace equilibrium plane at a fixed distance from the planet (see labels). The three resonances reachable appear in blue, red, and green. They correspond to the resonances labeled s3, s6, and s1 by Saillenfest et al. (2023). The hatched blue zone is the E1 region where the classic Laplace plane of the moon is unstable. The magenta circle highlights the fully relaxed state of the planet (ω = np and θ ≈ 0). Panel c additionnaly shows the black trajectory from Fig. 2: the system evolves from right to left; the moon is lost in the E1 region, then the planet fully relaxes due to tidal dissipation.
