TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Surveys. II.

Assembling such a sample requires confirming hundreds of planet candidates with additional follow-up observations. Here we present 20 hot Jupiters that were detected using TESS data and confirmed to be planets through photometric, spectroscopic, and imaging observations coordinated by the TESS Follow-up Observing Program.

These 20 planets have orbital periods shorter than 7 days and orbit relatively bright FGK stars (10.9<G<13.0). Most of the planets are comparable in mass to Jupiter, although there are four planets with masses less than that of Saturn. TOI-3976b, the longest-period planet in our sample (P=6.6 days), may be on a moderately eccentric orbit (e=0.18+/-0.06), while observations of the other targets are consistent with them being on circular orbits.
