Notes. Based on the joint fit of the TESS and CHEOPS photometric data and RV observations. Table shows the best-fitting value of the given parameter and its ± 1σ uncertainty. The fitted values correspond to quantile 0.50 (median) and the uncertainties to quantils ±0.341 in the parameter distributions obtained from the samples. (⋆)Only the 3σ upper limits are listed here due to the low number of the RV observations. (♦)Assuming the albedo value of 0.2. (♣)Based on the relations presented by Chen & Kipping (2017), assuming that the planet radii are from the interval of 1.23 < Rp < 14.26 R. (♥)Based on the relations presented by Otegi et al. (2020). (†)Assuming that ρp > 3.3 g cm−3. (‡)Assuming that ρp < 3.3 g cm−3. #Based on the criteria set by Kempton et al. (2018), using the scale factor of 1.26, the stellar radius of Rs = 1.117 ± 0.009 R and J = 7.250 ± 0.027 mag (see Table 4).
