We identified the transit signal from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometric data, which we confirmed with ground-based photometric observations using the multiband imagers MuSCAT2 and MuSCAT3. Combining these data with other follow-up observations including high-resolution spectroscopy with the Tillinghast Reflector Echelle Spectrograph, high-resolution imaging with the SPeckle Polarimeter, and radial velocity (RV) measurements with the InfraRed Doppler instrument, we find that the planet has a radius of 1.74±0.08R⊕⁠, a mass of, Funding for the TESS mission is provided by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. We acknowledge the use of public TESS data from pipelines at the TESS Science Office and at the TESS SPOC. Resources supporting this work were provided by the NASA High-End Computing (HEC) Program through the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames Research Center for the production of the SPOC data products. This paper includes data that are publicly available from the MAST. This research has made use of the Exoplanet Follow-up Observation Program website, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology, under contract with the NASA under the Exoplanet Exploration Program. This work makes use of observations from the LCO global telescope network. This paper is based on observations made with the MuSCAT3 instrument, developed by the Astrobiology Center (ABC) and under financial supports by JSPS KAKENHI (JP18H05439) and JST PRESTO (JPMJPR1775), at FTN on Maui, HI, operated by the LCO, and observations made with the MuSCAT2 instrument, developed by ABC, at TCS operated on the island of Tenerife by the IAC in the Spanish Observatorio del Teide. This paper is partially based on observations made at the CMO SAI MSU with the support by M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University Program of Development.
