Description
We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a 1.25RJ ‑0.07RJ+0.08RJ , 5.89MJ ± 0.26MJ giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at d ≃ 122 pc. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in data from Sector 40 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. Radial velocity (RV) observations of TOI-4465 showed a planetary signal with an orbital period of ∼102 days and an orbital eccentricity of e = 0.24 ± 0.01. TESS reobserved TOI-4465 in Sector 53 and Sector 80 but did not detect another transit of TOI-4465 b, as the planet was not expected to transit during these observations based on the RV period. A global ground-based photometry campaign was initiated to observe another transit of TOI-4465 b after the RV period determination. The ∼12 hr long transit event was captured from multiple sites around the world and included observations from 24 citizen scientists, confirming the orbital period as ∼102 days. TOI-4465 b is a relatively dense (3.73 ± 0.53 g cm‑3), temperate (375–478 K) giant planet. Based on giant planet structure models, TOI-4465 b appears to be enriched in heavy elements at a level consistent with late-stage accretion of icy planetesimals. Additionally, we explore TOI-4465 b's potential for atmospheric characterization and obliquity measurement. Increasing the number of long-period planets by confirming single-transit events is crucial for understanding the frequency and demographics of planet populations in the outer regions of planetary systems.

The search for life in the universe has been driven by recent discoveries of planets around other stars (known as exoplanets), becoming one of the most active fields in modern astrophysics. The growing number of new exoplanets discovered in recent years and the recent advance on the study of their atmospheres are not only providing new valuable
