摘要:We report the discovery of TOI-172 b from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission, a massive hot Jupiter transiting a slightly evolved G star with a 9.48-day orbital period. This is the first planet to be confirmed from analysis of only the TESS full frame images, because the host star was not chosen as a two-minute cadence target. From a global analysis of the TESS photometry and follow-up observations carried out by the TESS Follow- up Observing Program Working Group, TOI-172 (TIC 29857954) is a slightly evolved star with an effective temperature of T eff =5645±50K, a mass of M å = 1.128 0.061 0.065- +M e , radius of R å = 1.777 0.044 0.047-+R e , a surfacegravity of log g å = 3.993 0.0280.027-+, and an age of 7.4 Gyr1.51.6-+. Its planetary companion (TOI-172 b) has a radius ofR P = 0.9650.0290.032-+R J , a mass of M P = 5.420.200.22-+M J , and is on an eccentric orbit ( e 0.38060.00900.0093=-+). TOI-172 b is one of the few known massive giant planets on a highly eccentric short-period orbit. Future study of the atmosphere of this planet and its system architecture offer opportunities to understand the formation and evolution of similar systems.
