Description
We report the discovery and confirmation of two new hot Jupiters discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS): TOI 564 b and TOI 905 b. The transits of these two planets were initially observed by TESS with orbital periods of 1.651 and 3.739 days, respectively. We conducted follow-up observations of each system from the ground, including photometry in multiple filters, speckle interferometry, and radial velocity measurements. For TOI 564 b, our global fitting revealed a classical hot Jupiter with a mass of ${1.463}_{-0.096}^{+0.10}$ MJ and a radius of ${1.02}_{-0.29}^{+0.71}$ RJ. Also a classical hot Jupiter, TOI 905 b has a mass of ${0.667}_{-0.041}^{+0.042}$ MJ and radius of ${1.171}_{-0.051}^{+0.053}$ RJ. Both planets orbit Sun-like, moderately bright, mid-G dwarf stars with V ∼ 11. While TOI 905 b fully transits its star, we found that TOI 564 b has a very high transit impact parameter of ${0.994}_{-0.049}^{+0.083}$ , making it one of only ∼20 known systems to exhibit a grazing transit and one of the brightest host stars among them. Therefore, TOI 564 b is one of the most attractive systems to search for additional nontransiting, smaller planets by exploiting the sensitivity of grazing transits to small changes in inclination and transit duration over a timescale of several years.

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
