Abstract (from CDS):

The present study confirms BD-14 3065b as a transiting planet-brown dwarf in a triple-star system, with a mass near the deuterium-burning boundary. BD-14 3065b has the largest radius observed within the sample of giant planets and brown dwarfs around post-main sequence stars. Its orbital period is 4.3 days and it transits a subgiant F-type star with a mass of M* = 1.41 ± 0.05 M⊙, a radius of R* = 2.35 ± 0.08 R⊙, an effective temperature of Teff = 6935 ± 90 K, and a metallicity of -0.34 ± 0.05 dex. By combining TESS photometry with high-resolution spectra acquired with the TRES and Pucheros+ spectrographs, we measured a mass of M⊙ = 12.37 ± 0.92 MJup and a radius of Rp = 1.926 ± 0.094 RJup. Our discussion of potential processes that could be responsible for the inflated radius led us to conclude that deuterium burning is a plausible explanation for the heating taking place in BD-14 3065b's interior. Detections of the secondary eclipse with TESS photometry enabled a precise determination of the eccentricity, ep = 0.066 ± 0.011, and reveal that BD-14 3065b has a brightness temperature of 3520 ± 130 K. With its unique characteristics, BD-14 3065b presents an excellent opportunity to study its atmosphere via thermal emission spectroscopy.
