Abstract
We report the discovery of two short-period massive giant planets from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Both systems, TOI-558 (TIC 207110080) and TOI-559 (TIC 209459275), were identified from the 30 minute cadence full-frame images and confirmed using ground-based photometric and spectroscopic followup observations from TESS's follow-up observing program working group. We find that TOI-558 b, which transits an F-dwarf (M-* =1.349(-0.065)(+0.064) M-circle dot, R-* =1.496(-0.040)(+0.042) R-circle dot, T-eff = 6466(-93)(+95) K, age 1.79(-0.73)(+0.91) Gyr) with an orbital period of 14.574 days, has a mass of 3.61 +/- 0.15 M-J, a radius of 1.086(-0.038)(+0.041) R-J, and an eccentric (e = 0.300(-0.020)(+0.022)) orbit. TOI-559 b transits a G dwarf (M-* = 1.026 +/- 0.057 M-circle dot, R-* =1.233(-0.026)(+0.028) R-circle dot, T-eff = 5925(-76)(+85) K, age 6.8(-2.0)(+2.5) Gyr) in an eccentric (e = 0.151 +/- 0.011) 6.984 days orbit with a mass of 6.01(-0.23)(+0.24) M-J and a radius of 1.091(-0.025+)(0.028) R-J. Our spectroscopic follow up also reveals a long-term radial velocity trend for TOI-559, indicating a long-period companion. The statistically significant orbital eccentricity measured for each system suggests that these planets migrated to their current location through dynamical interactions. Interestingly, both planets are also massive (>3 M-J), adding to the population of massive giant planets identified by TESS. Prompted by these new detections of high-mass planets, we analyzed the known mass distribution of hot and warm Jupiters but find no significant evidence for multiple populations. TESS should provide a near magnitude-limited sample of transiting hot Jupiters, allowing for future detailed population studies.
