We report the discovery and characterization of three new transiting giant planets orbiting TOI-6628, TOI-3837, TOI-5027 one warm sub-Saturn TOI-2328, whose transits events were detected in light curves Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) space mission. By combining TESS with ground-based photometric spectroscopic follow-up observations, we confirm planetary nature observed radial velocity variations.

The light curves yield significant transit events two companions, which show strong timing variations (TTVs) semi-amplitude $\sim$6 hours.

We report on the confirmation and follow-up characterization of two long-period transiting substellar companions low-eccentricity orbits around TIC 4672985 TOI-2529, whose transit events were detected by TESS space mission.

Abstract High-eccentricity tidal migration predicts the existence of highly eccentric proto hot Jupiters on “tidal circularization track,” meaning that they might eventually become Jupiters, but their migratory journey remains incomplete. Having experienced moderate amounts evolution orbital elements, Jupiter systems can be powerful test beds for underlying mechanisms eccentricity growth. Notably, may used discriminating between variants high-eccentricity migration, each predicting a...
We report the discovery and orbital characterization of three new transiting warm giant planets.
