Description
We report the first discovery of a multi-planetary system by the HATSouth network, HATS-59b,c, a planetary system with an inner transiting hot Jupiter and an outer cold massive giant planet, which was detected via radial velocity. The inner transiting planet, HATS-59b, is on an eccentric orbit with e=0.129+/-0.049, orbiting a V=13.951+/-0.030 mag solar-like star (M_*_=1.038+/-0.039 M_{sun}_ and R_*_=1.036+/-0.067 R_{sun}_) with a period of 5.416081+/-0.000016 days. The outer companion, HATS-59c is on a circular orbit with msini=12.70+/-0.87 M_J_ and a period of 1422+/-14 days. The inner planet has a mass of 0.806+/-0.069 M_J_ and a radius of 1.126+/-0.077 R_J_, yielding a density of 0.70+/-0.16 g/cm^3^. Unlike most planetary systems that include only a single hot Jupiter, HATS-59b,c includes, in addition to the transiting hot Jupiter, a massive outer companion. The architecture of this system is valuable for understanding planet migration.
