  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>While the population of confirmed exoplanets continues to grow, the sample of confirmed transiting planets around evolved stars is still limited. We present the discovery and confirmation of a hot Jupiter orbiting TOI-2184 (TIC 176956893), a massive evolved subgiant (<jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub>⋆</jats:sub> = 1.53 ± 0.12 <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub>⊙</jats:sub>, <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>⋆</jats:sub> = 2.90 ± 0.14 <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub>⊙</jats:sub>) in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Southern Continuous Viewing Zone. The planet was flagged as a false positive by the TESS Quick-Look Pipeline due to periodic systematics introducing a spurious depth difference between even and odd transits. Using a new pipeline to remove background scattered light in TESS Full Frame Image data, we combine space-based TESS photometry, ground-based photometry, and ground-based radial velocity measurements to report a planet radius of <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub> <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> </jats:sub> = 1.017 ± 0.051 <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sub> <jats:italic>J</jats:italic> </jats:sub> and mass of <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub> <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> </jats:sub> = 0.65 ± 0.16 <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub> <jats:italic>J</jats:italic> </jats:sub>. For a planet so close to its star, the mass and radius of TOI-2184b are unusually well matched to those of Jupiter. We find that the radius of TOI-2184b is smaller than theoretically predicted based on its mass and incident flux, providing a valuable new constraint on the timescale of post-main-sequence planet inflation. The discovery of TOI-2184b demonstrates the feasibility of detecting planets around faint (TESS magnitude &gt; 12) post-main-sequence stars and suggests that many more similar systems are waiting to be detected in the TESS FFIs, whose confirmation may elucidate the final stages of planetary system evolution.</jats:p>
