Abstract
We report the discovery and characterization of three new transiting giant planets orbiting TOI-6628, TOI-3837 and TOI-5027, and one new warm sub-Saturn orbiting TOI-2328, whose transits events were detected in the lightcurves of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite \textbf{(TESS)} space mission. By combining TESS lightcurves with ground-based photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations we confirm the planetary nature of the observed transits and radial velocity variations. TOI-6628~ has a mass of 0.750.06~, a radius of 0.980.05~ and is orbiting a metal-rich star with a period of 18.18424 days and an eccentricity of 0.667, making it one of the most eccentric orbits of all known warm giants. TOI-3837~ has a mass of 0.590.06~, a radius of 0.960.05~ and orbits its host star every 11.888650.00003~days, with a moderate eccentricity of 0.198. With a mass of 2.010.13~ and a radius of 0.99 , TOI-5027~ orbits its host star in an eccentric orbit with ~=~0.395 every 10.24368~days. TOI-2328~ is a Saturn-like planet with a mass of 0.160.02~ and a radius of 0.890.04~, orbiting its host star in a nearly circular orbit with ~=~0.057 at an orbital period of 17.10197 days. All four planets have orbital periods above 10 days, and our planet interior structure models are consistsent a rocky-icy core with a H/He envelope, providing evidence supporting the core accretion model of planet formation for this kind of planets.
