Description

We present the analysis of the Hot Jupiter, TOI-1107b, discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The mass of the planet, $3.02\pm0.37 M_J$, is determined using the RadVel package, with which 45 radial velocity measurements taken with MINERVA-Australis are analyzed. By analyzing the transiting light curve of the host star using the exoplanet package, we determined the size of the planet, $R_P = 1.227\pm0.056 R_J$, and its orbital period, $P = 4.07823\pm0.00005$ days. With more exoplanet systems being discovered by TESS, similar analyses can be done on them. Discoveries such as TOI-1107b help us better understand the formation and migration of exoplanets system, as we move from the era of finding exoplanets to an era of characterizing.
