Resumen

The number of confirmed exoplanets is increasing, yet there are few known transiting exoplanets around early-type stars. These exoplanets are vital for understanding planet properties and formation across different stellar masses, as well as the effects of high irradiation on hot Jupiters. We announce the discovery of three Saturn-mass planets (TOI-615b, TOI-622b, and TOI-2641b) transiting main sequence, F-type stars, identified by TESS and verified with ground-based observations. TOI-615b orbits a 6850 K star and is highly irradiated, TOI-622b does not exhibit radius inflation despite its high irradiation, and TOI-2641b has a grazing transit leading to an uncertain radius measurement. Particularly, TOI-615b is promising for atmospheric studies. Exploring the atmosphere and alignment of these exoplanets in the future will offer insights into their composition, formation, and migration across different stellar types.
