The new planets confirmed by our survey in context. Gray points show previously known transiting planets from the NASA Exoplanet Archive with masses and radii measured to better than 2.5σ. (a): planet masses and radii. The new planets have masses that span more than an order of magnitude, ranging from sub-Saturns to super-Jupiters, while having roughly similar radii. (b): planet bulk densities as a function of mass. The new planets show a similar spread in density compared with previously known planets, with the least dense object, TOI-3682 b, having a bulk density ρp < 0.2 g cm−3. (c) and (d): planet radii and masses as a function of planet equilibrium temperature. The well-known trend of increasing radius inflation with stellar insolation is clearly seen; the two most strongly irradiated planets in the sample, TOI-2886 b and TOI-3523 b, are both significantly inflated. The dearth of planets with intermediate size on close orbits—the “hot Neptune desert”—is an intriguing feature in the exoplanet distribution; in our sample, TOI-2986 b and TOI-3682 b appear to be on the edge of this desert and may be interesting targets for future study.
