Abstract
We confirm the planetary nature of TOI-5344 b as a transiting giant exoplanet around an M0-dwarf star. TOI-5344 b was discovered with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry and confirmed with ground-based photometry (the Red Buttes Observatory 0.6 m telescope), radial velocity (the Habitable-zone Planet Finder), and speckle imaging (the NN-Explore Exoplanet Stellar Speckle Imager). TOI-5344 b is a Saturn-like giant planet (ρ = 0.80−0.15+0.17g cm−3) with a planetary radius of 9.7 ± 0.5 R⊕ (0.87 ± 0.04 RJup) and a planetary mass of 135−18+17M⊕ (0.42−0.06+0.05 MJup ). It has an orbital period of 3.792622−0.000010+0.000010 days and an orbital eccentricity of 0.06−0.04+0.07 . We measure a high metallicity for TOI-5344 of [Fe/H] = 0.48 ± 0.12, where the high metallicity is consistent with expectations from formation through core accretion. We compare the metallicity of the M-dwarf hosts of giant exoplanets to that of M-dwarf hosts of nongiants (≲8 R⊕). While the two populations appear to show different metallicity distributions, quantitative tests are prohibited by various sample caveats.
