Abstract: We present the discovery and characterization of two transiting exoplanets orbiting the metal-poor, solar-type star TOI-5788. From our analysis of six TESS sectors and a dedicated CHEOPS programme, we identify an inner planet (TO1-5788 b; P = 6.340758 plus/minus 0.00003 * d ) with radius 1.528 +/- 0.075 R-circle plus and an outer planet (TOI-5788 c; P = 16.213362 plus/minus 0.000026 * d ) with radius 2.272 +/- 0.039 R-circle plus. We obtain 125 radial-velocity spectra from HARPS-N and constrain the masses of TO1-5788 band cas 3.72 +/- 0.94 M(circle plus)and 6.4 +/- 1.2 M-circle plus, respectively. Although dynamical analyses indicate that a third planet could exist in a stable orbit between 8 and 14 d, we find no evidence of additional planets. Since the TOI-5788 system is one of the few systems with planets straddling the radius gap, and noting that there are even fewer such systems around metal-poor stars, it is a promising system to constrain planet formation theories. We therefore model the interior structures of both planets. We find that TOI-5788 b is consistent with being a rocky planet with almost no envelope, or having an atmosphere of a high mean molecular weight. We find that TOI-5788 c is consistent with both gas-dwarf and water-world hypotheses of mini-Neptune formation. We model the atmospheric evolution history of both planets. While both scenarios are consistent with the atmospheric evolution of TOI-5788 c, the gas-dwarf model is marginally preferred. The results of the atmospheric evolution analysis are not strongly dependent on stellar evolution. This makes the system a promising target to test internal structure and atmospheric evolution models.
