A warm Jupiter transiting an M dwarf: A TESS single transit event confirmed with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder
2020
We confirm the planetary nature of a warm Jupiter transiting the early M dwarf, TOI-1899, using a combination of available TESS photometry, high-precision, near-infrared spectroscopy with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF), and speckle and adaptive optics imaging. The data reveal a transiting companion on a $\sim29$-day orbit with a mass and radius of $0.66\pm0.07\ \mathrm{M_{J}}$ and $1.37_{-0.06}^{+0.05}\ \mathrm{R_{J}}$, respectively. TOI-1899 is the lowest mass star known to host a transiting warm Jupiter and we discuss the follow-up opportunities afforded by a warm ($\mathrm{T_{eq}}\sim362$ K) gas giant orbiting an M0 star. Our observations reveal TOI-1899.01 is a puffy warm Jupiter and we suggest additional transit observations to both refine the orbit and constrain the true dilution observed in TESS.
