TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VI: an 11 Myr giant planet transiting a very low-mass star in Lower Centaurus Crux

Andrew W. Mann, Mackenna L. Wood, Stephen P. Schmidt +48

Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be Jovian radius when younger than 10 Myr. Thus, we expect to find 5-15 planets around young stars even if t…
