HATS-59b,c: A Transiting Hot Jupiter and a Cold Massive Giant Planet Around a Sun-Like Star

Abstract

We report the first discovery of a multi-planetary system by the HATSouth network, HATS-59b,c, a planetary system with an inner transiting hot Jupiter and an outer cold massive giant planet, which was detected via radial velocity. The inner transiting planet, HATS-59b, is on an eccentric orbit with e = 0.1290.049, orbiting a V=13.9510.030 mag solar-like star (M* = 1.0380.039 M, and R* = 1.0360.067 R) with a period of 5.4160770.000017 days. The outer companion, HATS-59c is on a circular orbit with m i = 12.81.1 MJ, and a period of 142214 days. The inner planet has a mass of 0.8060.069 MJ and a radius of 1.1260.077 MJ, yielding a density of 0.700.16 g\,cm-3. Unlike most of the planetary systems that include only a single hot Jupiter, HATS-59b,c includes, in addition to the transiting hot Jupiter, a massive outer companion. The architecture of this system is valuable for understanding planet migration.
