Abstract

The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentricity migration. Constraining these processes and how they vary across different host-star spectral types requires the detailed characterization of planets in the desert and around its boundaries. In this study, we confirm the planetary nature of a massive super-Neptune identified by TESS around the M0 dwarf TOI 672. We analyse photometry from TESS and ExTrA and precise radial velocity measurements taken with the recently commissioned Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) and HARPS spectrographs. We measure the planetary orbital period, radius, and mass of 3.634 days, 5.31Re, aed 50.9Me, respectively. Our findings place TOI-672 b within the Neptunian ridge, a pile-up of planets from 3-5 days at the Neptunian desert boundary. We then use a novel approach to determine the desert boundaries in period-radius space and instellation-radius space, and, for the first time, compare the Neptunian desert boundaries for planets orbiting FGK versus M dwarf stars. We determine that the boundary ridge shifts slightly inward from 3.3+/-1.4 days for FGK host stars to 2.2+/-1.0 days for M dwarf host stars; these values do not statistically significantly differ from each other, and the shift to shorter periods for M dwarf planets is smaller than theoretical photoevaporation models predict. We also find that TOI-672 b is a single-planet system within the sensitivity limits of our RV and TTV datasets.
