Abstract (from CDS):

We report the detection of a transiting Earth-size planet around GJ 357, a nearby M2.5 V star, using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). GJ 357 b (TOI-562.01) is a transiting, hot, Earth-sized planet (T_eq=525±11K) with a radius of R_b=1.217±0.084R_⊕ and an orbital period of P_b=3.93d. Precise stellar radial velocities from CARMENES and PFS, as well as archival data from HIRES, UVES, and HARPS also display a 3.93-day periodicity, confirming the planetary nature and leading to a planetary mass of M_b=1.84±0.31M_⊕. In addition to the radial velocity signal for GJ 357 b, more periodicities are present in the data indicating the presence of two further planets in the system: GJ 357 c, with a minimum mass of M_c=3.40±0.46M_⊕ in a 9.12d orbit, and GJ 357 d, with a minimum mass of M_d=6.1±1.0M_⊕ in a 55.7d orbit inside the habitable zone. The host is relatively inactive and exhibits a photometric rotation period of P_rot=78±2d. GJ 357 b isto date the second closest transiting planet to the Sun, making it a prime target for further investigations such as transmission spectroscopy. Therefore, GJ 357 b represents one of the best terrestrial planets suitable for atmospheric characterization with the upcoming JWST and ground-based ELTs.
