N2 - We report on the discovery of a transiting giant planet around the 3500 K M3-dwarf star TOI-6383A located 172 pc from Earth. It was detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and confirmed by a combination of ground-based follow-up photometry and precise radial velocity measurements. This planet has an orbital period of ∼1.791 days, a mass of 1.040 ± 0.094 M J , and a radius of 1.008 − 0.033 + 0.036 R J , resulting in a mean bulk density of 1.26 − 0.17 + 0.18 g cm−3. TOI-6383A has an M dwarf companion star, TOI-6383B, which has a stellar effective temperature of T eff ∼ 3100 K and a projected orbital separation of 3126 au. TOI-6383A is a low-mass dwarf star hosting a giant planet and is an intriguing object for planetary evolution studies due to its high planet-to-star mass ratio. This discovery is part of the Searching for Giant Exoplanets around M-dwarf Stars (GEMS) Survey, intending to provide robust and accurate estimates of the occurrence of GEMS and the statistics on their physical and orbital parameters. This paper presents an interesting addition to the small number of confirmed GEMS, particularly notable since its formation necessitates massive, dust-rich protoplanetary discs and high accretion efficiency (>10%).
