Description
We present the discovery of two new 10 day period giant planets from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission, whose masses were precisely determined using a wide diversity of ground-based facilities. TOI-481b and TOI-892b have similar radii (0.99{+/-}0.01R_Jup_ and 1.07{+/-}0.02R_Jup_, respectively), and orbital periods (10.3311days and 10.6266days, respectively), but significantly different masses (1.53{+/-}0.03M_Jup versus 0.95{+/-}0.07M_Jup_, respectively). Both planets orbit metal-rich stars ([Fe/H]=+0.26{+/-}0.05dex and [Fe/H]=+0.24{+/-}0.05 for TOI-481 and TOI-892, respectively) but at different evolutionary stages. TOI-481 is a M_*_=1.14{+/-}0.02M_{odot}_, R_*_=1.66{+/-}0.02R_{odot}_ G-type star (Teff=5735{+/-}72K), that with an age of 6.7Gyr, is in the turn-off point of the main sequence. TOI-892 on the other hand, is a F-type dwarf star (Teff=6261{+/-}80K), which has a mass of M_*_=1.28{+/-}0.03M_{odot}_ and a radius of R_*_=1.39{+/-}0.02R_{odot}_. TOI-481b and TOI-892b join the scarcely populated region of transiting gas giants with orbital periods longer than 10days, which is important to constrain theories of the formation and structure of hot Jupiters.
