  18. Summary ● Spin measurements of exoplanets may hold clues to the formation process ● Combining high dispersion spectroscopy and adaptive optics it is possible to measure the spin of directly imaged planets ● Molecular lines in colder stars present a challenge ● GQ Lupi b has a vsin(i) of 6.0 ± 0.8 km/s ● Rotates slowly, possibly because it is young and bloated 17 / 17 Henriette Schwarz, schwarz@strw.leidenuniv.nl
