TOI-677 is a Sun-like F-type star (about 1.18 solar masses, 6,295 K, 1.28 solar radii), 142 light-years from Earth. TOI-677 b is a 1.23-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 11.2 days, at 0.104 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.46), discovered in 2020 via transit. The planet was found when it crossed the face of its star, producing periodic dips in brightness that reveal its size and orbital period to space-based photometry. The planet's marked eccentricity suggests past scattering events or perturbations from unseen companions.
