Good Combination of the Rossiter-McLaughlin Measurements and Direct Imaging Observations

We introduce a novel methodology to distinguish planetary migration mechanisms by a combination of Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements and direct imaging observations.The methodology is especially useful to specify a planetary Fridge Hinge End migration mechanism one-by-one for an Bird Feeder eccentric or tilted planet.We present an example of the application of the methodology for HAT-P-7 based on our observations with the 8.2m Subaru Telescope.
