Description
We report the discovery of four transiting giant planets around K-dwarfs. The planets HATS-47b, HATS-48Ab, HATS-49b, and HATS-72b have masses of 0.369_-0.021_^+0.031^M_J_, 0.243_-0.030_^+0.022^M_J_, 0.353_-0.027_^+0.038^M_J_, and 0.1254{+/-}0.0039M_J_, respectively, and radii of 1.117{+/-}0.014R_J_, 0.800{+/-}0.015R_J_, 0.765{+/-}0.013R_J_, and 0.7224{+/-}0.0032R_J_, respectively. The planets orbit close to their host stars with orbital periods of 3.9228days, 3.1317days, 4.1480days, and 7.3279days, respectively. The hosts are main-sequence K-dwarfs with masses of 0.674_-0.012_^+0.016^M_{odot}_, 0.7279{+/-}0.0066M_{odot}_, 0.7133{+/-}0.0075M_{odot}_, and 0.7311{+/-}0.0028, and with V-band magnitudes of V=14.829{+/-}0.010, 14.35{+/-}0.11, 14.998{+/-}0.040 and 12.469{+/-}0.010. The super-Neptune HATS-72b (a.k.a. WASP-191b and TOI294.01) was independently identified as a transiting planet candidate by the HATSouth, WASP, and TESS surveys, and we present a combined analysis of all of the data gathered by each of these projects (and their follow-up programs). An exceptionally precise mass is measured for HATS-72b thanks to high-precision radial velocity (RV) measurements obtained with VLT/ESPRESSO, FEROS, HARPS, and Magellan/PFS. We also incorporate TESS observations of the warm Saturn-hosting systems HATS-47 (a.k.a. TOI1073.01), HATS-48A, and HATS-49. HATS-47 was independently identified as a candidate by the TESS team, while the other two systems were not previously identified from the TESS data. The RV orbital variations are measured for these systems using Magellan/PFS. HATS-48A has a resolved 5.4" neighbor in Gaia DR2, which is a common-proper-motion binary star companion to HATS-48A with a mass of 0.22M_{odot}_ and a current projected physical separation of ~1400au.
