For TOI 700 e, the best-fitting planet-only model is shown in black, and the planet+moon model is shown in green. The modeled moon has a period of 5.8 days and a radius of 0.31R. The models including the GPs are shown in lighter shades of gray/green; the GP models are nearly identical between the two solutions. The planet+moon model is marginally preferred, with a Bayes difference of ﹩{\rm{\Delta }}\mathrm{log}(Z)=0.14﹩. The planet is slightly smaller in the planet+moon case, thereby producing the same depth of transit during the times when both planet and moon are crossing in front of the star.
