Abstract
Recent observations of giant planets have revealed unexpected bulk densities. Hot Jupiters, in particular, appear larger than expected for their masses compared to planetary evolution models, while warm Jupiters seem denser than expected. These differences are often attributed to the influence of the stellar incident flux, but it has been unclear if they also result from different planet formation processes, and if there is a trend linking the planetary density to the chemical composition of the host star. In this work, we present the confirmation of three giant planets in orbit around solar analogue stars. TOI-2714 b (P ≃ 2.5 d, Rp ≃ 1.22 RJ, Mp = 0.72 MJ) and TOI-2981 b (P ≃ 3.6 d, RP ≃ 1.2 RJ, MP = 2 MJ) are hot Jupiters on nearly circular orbits, while TOI-4914 b (P ≃ 10.6 d, RP ≃ 1.15 RJ, Mp = 0.72 MJ) is a warm Jupiter with a significant eccentricity (e = 0.41 ± 0.02) that orbits a star more metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -0.13) than most of the stars known to host giant planets.
