Abstract 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-481 b and TOI-892 b have similar radii (0.99 ± 0.01 R J and 1.07 ± 0.02 R J , respectively), and orbital periods (10.3311 days and 10.6266 days, respectively), but significantly different masses (1.53 ± 0.03 M J versus 0.95 ± 0.07 M J , respectively). Both planets orbit metal-rich stars ( [ Fe / H ] = + 0.26 ± 0.05 dex 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 ± 0.02 M ⊙ , R ⋆ = 1.66 ± 0.02 R ⊙ G-type star ( T eff = 5735 ± 72 K), that with an age of 6.7 Gyr, is in the turn-off point of the main sequence. TOI-892 on the other hand, is a F-type dwarf star ( T eff = 6261 ± 80 K), which has a mass of M ⋆ = 1.28 ± 0.03 M ⊙ and a radius of R ⋆ = 1.39 ± 0.02 R ⊙ . TOI-481 b and TOI-892 b join the scarcely populated region of transiting gas giants with orbital periods longer than 10 days, which is important to constrain theories of the formation and structure of hot Jupiters.
