Original abstract
Spin-orbit misalignment is increasingly observed in binary stars, but its origin remains uncertain. We study the secular spin dynamics of stellar binaries and derive the associated Cassini states. We isolate a spin-spin resonance that arises when the two stellar spin-precession frequencies become commensurate. This resonance can excite the obliquity of the secondary to high values even when the primary is only weakly tilted. Magnetic braking favors the formation of high-obliquity states, whereas tidal dissipation may suppress them. Spin-spin coupling may thus help explain the observed diversity of obliquities in young stellar binaries.
