While the planet masses range from 0.26 to 0.90 M_J_, the radii are all approximately a Jupiter radii, resulting in a wide range of bulk densities. The orbital period of the planets ranges from 2.7 days to 4.7 days, with HATS-43b having an orbit that appears to be marginally non-circular (e=0.173+/-0.089). HATS-44 is notable for having a high metallicity ([Fe/H]=0.320+/-0.071). The host stars spectral types range from late F to early K, and all of them are moderately bright (13.3
