Abstract
We present the discovery and characterization of two transiting planets observed by TESS in the light curves of the young and bright (V = 9.67) star HD73583 (TOI-560). We perform an intensive spectroscopic and photometric space- and ground-based follow-up in order to confirm and characterize the system. We found that HD73583 is a young (∼500 Myr) active star with a rotational period of 12.08 ± 0.11 d, and a mass and radius of 0.73 ± 0.02 M⊙ and 0.65 ± 0.02 R⊙, respectively. HD 73583 b (Pb = |$6.3980420 _{ - 0.0000062 } ^ { + 0.0000067 }$| d) has a mass and radius of |$10.2 _{ - 3.1 } ^ { + 3.4 }$| M ⊕ and 2.79 ± 0.10 R ⊕, respectively, which gives a density of |$2.58 _{ - 0.81 } ^ { + 0.95 }$| |${\rm g\, cm^{-3}}$|. HD 73583 c (Pc = |$18.87974 _{ - 0.00074 } ^ { + 0.00086 }$| d) has a mass and radius of |$9.7 _{ - 1.7 } ^ { + 1.8 }$| M ⊕ and |$2.39 _{ - 0.09 } ^ { + 0.10 }$| R ⊕, respectively, which translates to a density of |$3.88 _{ - 0.80 } ^ { + 0.91 }$| |${\rm g\, cm^{-3}}$|. Both planets are consistent with worlds made of a solid core surrounded by a volatile envelope. Because of their youth and host star brightness, they both are excellent candidates to perform transmission spectroscopy studies. We expect ongoing atmospheric mass-loss for both planets caused by stellar irradiation. We estimate that the detection of evaporating signatures on H and He would be challenging, but doable with present and future instruments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
