Abstract

We present the discovery and characterization of HIP 33609 b, a transiting warm brown dwarf orbiting a late B star, discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite TESS as TOI-588 b. HIP 33609 b is a large (Rb_{b} = 1.5800.070+0.074_{-0.070}^{+0.074} RJ_{J}) brown dwarf on a highly eccentric (e = 0.5600.031+0.029_{-0.031}^{+0.029}) orbit with a 39-day period. The host star is a bright (V = 7.3 mag), Teff_{eff} = 10,400660+800_{-660}^{+800} K star with a mass of M_{*} = 2.3830.095+0.10_{-0.095}^{+0.10} M_{\odot} and radius of R_{*} = 1.8630.082+0.087_{-0.082}^{+0.087} R_{\odot}, making it the hottest transiting brown dwarf host star discovered to date. We obtained radial velocity measurements from the CHIRON spectrograph confirming the companion's mass of Mb_{b} = 68.07.1+7.4_{-7.1}^{+7.4} MJ_{J} as well as the host star's rotation rate (vsini=55.6±1.8vsini_{*} = 55.6 \pm 1.8 km/s). We also present the discovery of a new comoving group of stars, designated as MELANGE-6, and determine that HIP 33609 is a member. We use a combination of rotation periods and isochrone models fit to the cluster members to estimate an age of 150 ±\pm 25 Myr. With a measured mass, radius, and age, HIP 33609 b becomes a benchmark for substellar evolutionary models.
