TOI-4010: A System of Three Large Short-Period Planets With a Massive Long-Period Companion

Abstract

We report the confirmation of three exoplanets transiting TOI-4010 (TIC-352682207), a metal-rich K dwarf observed by TESS in Sectors 24, 25, 52, and 58. We confirm these planets with HARPS-N radial velocity observations and measure their masses with 8 - 12% precision. TOI-4010 b is a sub-Neptune (P = 1.3 days, Rp = 3.02-0.08+0.08~R, Mp = 11.00-1.27+1.29~M) in the hot Neptune desert, and is one of the few such planets with known companions. Meanwhile, TOI-4010 c (P = 5.4 days, Rp = 5.93-0.12+0.11~R, Mp = 20.31-2.11+2.13~M) and TOI-4010 d (P = 14.7 days, Rp = 6.18-0.14+0.15~R, Mp = 38.15-3.22+3.27~M) are similarly-sized sub-Saturns on short-period orbits. Radial velocity observations also reveal a super-Jupiter-mass companion called TOI-4010 e in a long-period, eccentric orbit (P 762 days and e 0.26 based on available observations). TOI-4010 is one of the few systems with multiple short-period sub-Saturns to be discovered so far.
