Abstract (from CDS):

We report the discovery and validation of HD 21520 b, a transiting planet found with Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and orbiting a bright G dwarf (V = 9.2, $T_{\rm eff} = 5871 \pm 62$ K, $R_{\star } = 1.04\pm 0.02\, {\rm R}_{\odot }$ ). HD 21520 b was originally alerted as a system (TOI-4320) consisting of two planet candidates with periods of 703.6 and 46.4 d. However, our analysis supports instead a single-planet system with an orbital period of $25.1292\pm 0.0001$ d and radius of $2.70 \pm 0.09\, {\rm R}_{{\oplus }}$ . Three full transits in sectors 4, 30, and 31 match this period and have transit depths and durations in agreement with each other, as does a partial transit in sector 3. We also observe transits using CHEOPS and LCOGT. SOAR and Gemini high-resolution imaging do not indicate the presence of any nearby companions, and MINERVA-Australis and CORALIE radial velocities rule out an on-target spectroscopic binary. Additionally, we use ESPRESSO radial velocities to obtain a tentative mass measurement of $7.9^{+3.2}_{-3.0}\, {\rm M}_{{\oplus }}$ , with a 3 $\sigma$ upper limit of 17.7 ${\rm M}_{{\oplus }}$ . Due to the bright nature of its host and likely significant gas envelope of the planet, HD 21520b is a promising candidate for further mass measurements and for atmospheric characterization.
