Scientists detect and validate the longest-period exoplanet discovered with TESS

Scientists have detected and validated two of the longest-period exoplanets discovered by TESS up to now. These lengthy interval massive exoplanets orbit a K dwarf star and belong to a category of planets generally known as heat Jupiters, which have orbital intervals of 10-200 days and are at the very least six occasions Earth’s radius. This current discovery gives thrilling analysis alternatives for the way forward for discovering long-period planets that resemble these in our personal photo voltaic system.
