Radius-period distribution of the known young planet population. Planets are colored based on their ages, with darker purples representing the younger systems. TIC 434398831 b and c are denoted by the stars. We plot the distribution of the known exoplanet population in greyscale for reference. Both TIC 434398831 b and c lie above the mature exoplanet distribution. As they continue to evolve, both planets will likely evolve to lie in the Kepler distribution. -- astro-ph.EP
