| contents | The formation of Neptune planets with orbital periods less than 10\,days remains uncertain. They might have developed similarly to longer-period counterparts, emerged from rare collisions between smaller planets, or could be the remnant cores of stripped giant planets. Characterizing a large number of them is important to advance our understanding of how they form and evolve. We aimed at confirming the planetary nature and characterizing the properties of a close-in Neptune-type transiting exoplanet candidate revealed by TESS around the star TOI-5795 (V = 10.7 mag), 162 pc away from the Sun. We monitored TOI-5795 with the HARPS spectrograph for two months to quantify periodic variations in radial velocity (RV) to estimate the mass of the smaller companion. We combined these RV and TESS photometry. High-angular-resolution speckle and adaptive optics imaging excluded contamination from nearby sources. We found that the parent star is a metal-poor (${\rm [Fe/H]}=-0.27\pm0.07$), G3\,V star ($T_{\rm eff}=5718\pm50$\,K), with $R_{\star}=1.082\pm0.026\,R_{\sun}$, $M_{\star}=0.901^{+0.055}_{-0.037}\,M_{\sun}$ and $10.2^{+2.5}_{-3.3}$\,Gyr. We estimated that the planet has an orbital period of $P_{\rm orb}=6.1406325 \pm 0.0000054$ days and an orbital eccentricity compatible with zero. Having a mass of $23.66^{+4.09}_{-4.60}\,M_{\oplus}$, a radius of $5.62\pm 0.11\,R_{\oplus}$ and an equilibrium temperature of $1136\pm18$\,K, it can be considered as a hot super-Neptune at the edge of the Neptune desert. We simulated planet-formation processes but found almost no successful matches to the observed planet's mass and orbit, suggesting that post-formation dynamical events may have shaped its current state. |
