Abstract (EN): We report the characterization of two planet candidates detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), TOI-1199 b and TOI-1273 b, with periods of 3.7 and 4.6 days, respectively. Follow-up observations for both targets, which include several ground-based light curves, confirmed the transit events. High-precision radial velocities from the SOPHIE spectrograph revealed signals at the expected frequencies and phases of the transiting candidates and allowed mass determinations with a precision of 8.4% and 6.7% for TOI-1199 b and TOI-1273 b, respectively. The planetary and orbital parameters were derived from a joint analysis of the radial velocities and photometric data. We find that the planets have masses of 0.239 +/- 0.020 M-J and 0.222 +/- 0.015 M-J and radii of 0.938 +/- 0.025 R-J and 0.99 +/- 0.22 R-J, respectively. The grazing transit of TOI-1273 b translates to a larger uncertainty in its radius, and hence also in its bulk density, compared to TOI-1199 b. The inferred bulk densities of 0.358 +/- 0.041 g cm(-3) and 0.28 +/- 0.11 g cm(-3) are among the lowest known for exoplanets in this mass range, which, considering the brightness of the host stars (V approximate to 11 mag), render them particularly amenable to atmospheric characterization via the transit spectroscopy technique. The better constraints on the parameters of TOI-1199 b provide a transmission spectroscopy metric of 134 +/- 17, making it the better suited of the two planets for atmospheric studies.
