TOI-3984 A b and TOI-5293 A b: two temperate gas giants transiting mid-M dwarfs in wide binary systems
Abstract
We confirm the planetary nature of two gas giants discovered by TESS to transit M dwarfs with stellar companions at wide separations. TOI-3984 A (J=11.93) is an M4 dwarf hosting a short-period (4.353326 0.000005 days) gas giant (Mp=0.140.03~MJ and Rp=0.710.02~RJ) with a wide separation white dwarf companion. TOI-5293 A (J=12.47) is an M3 dwarf hosting a short-period (2.930289 0.000004 days) gas giant (Mp=0.540.07~MJ and Rp=1.060.04~RJ) with a wide separation M dwarf companion. We characterize both systems using a combination of ground-based and space-based photometry, speckle imaging, and high-precision radial velocities from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder and NEID spectrographs. TOI-3984 A b (Teq=56315 K and TSM=138-27+29) and TOI-5293 A b (Teq=675-30+42 K and TSM=9214) are two of the coolest gas giants among the population of hot Jupiter-sized gas planets orbiting M dwarfs and are favorable targets for atmospheric characterization of temperate gas giants and three-dimensional obliquity measurements to probe system architecture and migration scenarios.
