Abstract (from CDS):


Aims. We report the discovery and validation of two TESS exoplanets orbiting faint M dwarfs: TOI-4479b and TOI-2081b.
Methods. We jointly analyzed space (TESS mission) and ground-based (MuSCAT2, MuSCAT3 and SINISTRO instruments) light curves using our multicolor photometry transit analysis pipeline. This allowed us to compute contamination limits for both candidates and validate them as planet-sized companions.
Results. We found TOI-4479b to be a sub-Neptune-sized planet (Rp = 2.82–0.63+0.65R⊕) and TOI-2081b to be a super-Earth-sized planet (Rp = 2.04–0.54+0.50R⊕). Furthermore, we obtained that TOI-4479b, with a short orbital period of 1.15890–0.00001+0.00002 days, lies within the Neptune desert and is in fact the largest nearly ultra-short period planet around an M dwarf known to date.
Conclusions. These results make TOI-4479b rare among the currently known exoplanet population of M dwarf stars and an especially interesting target for spectroscopic follow-up and future studies of planet formation and evolution.
