Abstract： We report the discovery of a 1.32$^{+0.10}_{-0.10}$ $\mathrm{M_{\rm Jup}}$
planet orbiting on a 75.12 day period around the G3V $10.8^{+2.1}_{-3.6}$ Gyr
old star TOI-5542 (TIC 466206508; TYC 9086-1210-1). The planet was first
detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as a single
transit event in TESS Sector 13. A second transit was observed 376 days later
in TESS Sector 27. The planetary nature of the object has been confirmed by
ground-based spectroscopic and radial velocity observations from the CORALIE
and HARPS spectrographs. A third transit event was detected by the ground-based
facilities NGTS, EulerCam, and SAAO. We find the planet has a radius of
1.009$^{+0.036}_{-0.035}$ $\mathrm{R_{\rm Jup}}$ and an insolation of
9.6$^{+0.9}_{-0.8}$ $S_{\oplus}$, along with a circular orbit that most likely
formed via disk migration or in situ formation, rather than high-eccentricity
migration mechanisms. Our analysis of the HARPS spectra yields a host star
metallicity of [Fe/H] = $-$0.21$\pm$0.08, which does not follow the traditional
trend of high host star metallicity for giant planets and does not bolster
studies suggesting a difference among low- and high-mass giant planet host star
metallicities. Additionally, when analyzing a sample of 216 well-characterized
giant planets, we find that both high masses (4 $\mathrm{M_{\rm Jup}}$

Abstract： We present the discovery of TOI-2136b, a sub-Neptune planet transiting every 7.85 days a nearby M4.5V-type star, identified through photometric measurements from the TESS mission. The host star is located $33$ pc away with a radius of $R_{\ast} = 0.34\pm0.02\ R_{\odot}$, a mass of $0.34\pm0.02\ M_{\odot}$ and an effective temperature of $\rm 3342\pm100\ K$. We estimate its stellar rotation period to be $75\pm5$ days based on archival long-term photometry. We confirm and characterize the planet based on a series of ground-based multi-wavelength photometry, high-angular-resolution imaging observations, and precise radial velocities from CFHT/SPIRou. Our joint analysis reveals that the planet has a radius of $2.19\pm0.17\ R_{\oplus}$, and a mass measurement of $6.4\pm2.4M_{\oplus}$. The mass and radius of TOI2136b is consistent with a broad range of compositions, from water-ice to gas-dominated worlds. TOI-2136b falls close to the radius valley for low-mass stars predicted by the thermally driven atmospheric mass loss models, making it an interesting target for future studies of its interior structure and atmospheric properties.

Abstract： We present the Distant Giants Survey, a three-year radial velocity (RV) campaign to measure P(DG|CS), the conditional occurrence of distant giant planets (DG; M_p ~ 0.3 - 13 M_J, P > 1 year) in systems hosting a close-in small planet (CS; R_p < 10 R_E). For the past two years, we have monitored 47 Sun-like stars hosting small transiting planets detected by TESS. We present the selection criteria used to assemble our sample and report the discovery of two distant giant planets, TOI-1669 b and TOI-1694 c. For TOI-1669 b we find that Msin i = 0.573 +/- 0.074 M_J, P = 502 +/- 16 days, and e < 0.27, while for TOI-1694 c, Msin i = 1.05 +/- 0.05 M_J, P = 389.2 +/- 3.9 days, and e = 0.18 +/- 0.05. We also confirmed the 3.8-day transiting planet TOI-1694 b by measuring a true mass of M = 26.1 +/- 2.2 M_E. We also confirmed the 3.8-day transiting planet TOI-1694 b by measuring a true mass of M = 26.1 +/- 2.2 M_E. At the end of the Distant Giants Survey, we will incorporate TOI-1669 b and TOI-1694 c into our calculation of P(DG|CS), a crucial statistic for understanding the relationship between outer giants and small inner companions.
