Abstract

We present the discovery of two exoplanets transiting TOI-836 (TIC 440887364) using data from TESS Sector 11 and Sector 38. TOI-836 is a bright (T=8.5mag), high proper motion (∼200 mas yr−1), low metallicity ([Fe/H]≈−0.28) K-dwarf with a mass of 0.68±0.05 M⊙ and aradius of 0.67±0.01 R⊙. We obtain photometric follow-upobservations with a variety of facilities, and we use these data-sets todetermine that the inner planet, TOI-836 b, is a 1.70±0.07 R⊕super-Earth in a 3.82 day orbit, placing it directly within the so-called'radius valley'. The outer planet, TOI-836 c, is a 2.59±0.09 R⊕mini-Neptune in an 8.60 day orbit. Radial velocity measurements reveal thatTOI-836 b has a mass of 4.5±0.9 M⊕ , while TOI-836 c has a massof 9.6±2.6 M⊕. Photometric observations show Transit TimingVariations (TTVs) on the order of 20 minutes for TOI-836 c, although there areno detectable TTVs for TOI-836 b. The TTVs of planet TOI-836 c may be caused byan undetected exterior planet.
