Abstract We report the first discovery of a multi-planetary system by the HATSouth network, HATS-59b,c, a planetary system with an inner transiting hot Jupiter and an outer cold massive giant planet, which was detected via radial velocity. The inner transiting planet, HATS-59b, is on an eccentric orbit with , orbiting a mag solar-like star ( = and ) with a period of days. The outer companion, HATS-59c is on a circular orbit with and a period of 1422 ± 14 days. The inner planet has a mass of and a radius of , yielding a density of . Unlike most planetary systems that include only a single hot Jupiter, HATS-59b,c includes, in addition to the transiting hot Jupiter, a massive outer companion. The architecture of this system is valuable for understanding planet migration.
