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 = 8.5?mag), 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 a radius of 0.67 ± 0.01?R?. We obtain photometric follow-up observations with a variety of facilities, and we use these data sets to determine that the inner planet, TOI-836?b, is a 1.70 ± 0.07?R? super-Earth in a 3.82-d 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-d orbit. Radial velocity measurements reveal that TOI-836?b has a mass of 4.5 ± 0.9?M?, while TOI-836?c has a mass of 9.6 ± 2.6?M?. Photometric observations show Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) on the order of 20?min for TOI-836?c, although there are no detectable TTVs for TOI-836?b. The TTVs of planet TOI-836?c may be caused by an undetected exterior planet.
