Gas giant around TOI-2134
It is 7.35 times Earth's radius, closest in size to Saturn, and 58.3 times Earth's mass, at 0.81 g/cm3, less dense than Earth. A year there lasts 95.85 days, on an orbit 1 times closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. Its equilibrium temperature is 302 K, in the range where liquid water is possible. The host star TOI-2134 runs at 4580 K with 0.74 times the Sun's mass.

:CHECKLIST
What this planet has and has not got
[ ] Sits inside the computed habitable zone of its star. Yes.
[ ] Dense enough to be rock rather than gas, at 0.81 g/cm3. No.
[ ] A measured mass, not just a radius. Yes.
[ ] A measured temperature rather than one derived from the star. Yes.
[ ] Any detection of an atmosphere. Not recorded in the archive.

:PATH
What you get from the shadow
How deep the star dims fixes the planet's size relative to it.

:NOTE
Size from the shadow, mass from elsewhere. Most transiting planets never get the second half, and without it composition stays a guess.

:NOTE
Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in 2023. TESS scans most of the sky in 27-day stretches, so it favours bright nearby stars and short orbits over the faint distant ones Kepler specialised in.

:NOTE.half
TOI-2134 has 2 known planets. Systems like this are the ones where architecture can be studied instead of guessed at.

:NOTE.half
Its orbit is noticeably elliptical, eccentricity 0.31, so the starlight it receives changes substantially over one year.
