Abstract

We confirm the planetary nature of a warm Jupiter transiting the early M dwarf TOI-1899 using a combination of available TESS photometry; high-precision, near-infrared spectroscopy with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder; and speckle and adaptive optics imaging. The data reveal a transiting companion on an $\sim$ 29 day orbit with a mass and radius of 0.66 $\pm$ 0.07 $MJ $a n d$ 1.15{-0.05}^{+0.04} RJ $, r e s p e c t i v e l y .

Our observations reveal that TOI-1899.01 is a puffy warm Jupiter, and we suggest additional transit observations to both refine the orbit and constrain the true dilution observed in TESS.
