  • Description: Abstract We report the discovery of TOI-677 b, first identified as a candidate in light curves obtained within Sectors 9 and 10 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission and confirmed with radial velocities. TOI-677 b has a mass of  = , a radius of = , and orbits its bright host star (V = 9.8 mag) with an orbital period of d, on an eccentric orbit with . The host star has a mass of = , a radius of = , an age of Gyr and solar metallicity, properties consistent with a main-sequence late-F star with K. We find evidence in the radial velocity measurements of a secondary long-term signal, which could be due to an outer companion. The TOI-677 b system is a well-suited target for Rossiter–Mclaughlin observations that can constrain migration mechanisms of close-in giant planets.
