CoRoT-11b is a transiting Hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010. [4]
CoRoT-11b orbits the star CoRoT-11 in the constellation of Serpens. It is a F6V star with Te = 6343K, M = 1.27M☉, R = 1.36R☉, and nearly-solar metallicity. It has an estimated age between 1.0 and 3.0 Gyr.[ citation needed ]
CoRoT was a space telescope mission which operated from 2006 to 2013. The mission's two objectives were to search for extrasolar planets with short orbital periods, particularly those of large terrestrial size, and to perform asteroseismology by measuring solar-like oscillations in stars. The mission was led by the French Space Agency (CNES) in conjunction with the European Space Agency (ESA) and other international partners.
HD 185269 is a stellar triple system approximately 170 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is easily visible to binoculars, but not the naked eye.
CoRoT-2b is the second extrasolar planet to be detected by the French-led CoRoT mission, and orbits the star CoRoT-2 at a distance of 700 light years from Earth towards the constellation Aquila. Its discovery was announced on 20 December 2007. After its discovery via the transit method, its mass was confirmed via the radial velocity method.
CoRoT-5b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the F type star CoRoT-5. It was first reported by the CoRoT mission team in 2008 using a transit method. This planet has been confirmed by a Doppler follow-up study.
CoRoT-7b is an exoplanet orbiting the star CoRoT-7 in the constellation of Monoceros, 489 light-years from Earth. It was first detected photometrically by the French-led CoRoT mission and reported in February 2009. Until the announcement of Kepler-10b in January 2011, it was the smallest exoplanet to have its diameter measured, at 1.58 times that of the Earth and the first potential extrasolar terrestrial planet to be found. The exoplanet has a very short orbital period, revolving around its host star in about 20 hours.
CoRoT-6b is an exoplanet that was reportedly discovered by the CoRoT mission team on February 2, 2009, orbiting the F type star CoRoT-6. It is located in the Ophiuchus constellation.
CoRoT-1 is a yellow dwarf main sequence star similar to the Sun. The star is located approximately 2,630 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros. The apparent magnitude of this star is 13.6, which means it is not visible to the naked eye; however, it can be seen through a medium-sized amateur telescope on a clear, dark night. The first exoplanet discovered in the course of the CoRoT mission orbits this star; it is considered to be a "hot Jupiter", and is approximately as massive as the planet Jupiter itself.
CoRoT-2 is a yellow dwarf main sequence star a little cooler than the Sun. This star is located approximately 700 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila. The apparent magnitude of this star is 12, which means it is not visible to the naked eye but can be seen with a medium-sized amateur telescope on a clear dark night.
CoRoT-6 is a magnitude 13.9 star located in the Ophiuchus constellation.
CoRoT-13b is a transiting exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope on 12 July 2010.
CoRoT-21b is a transiting exoplanet reportedly found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011. Planetary parameters were published in 2012.
CoRoT-8b is a transiting exoplanet orbiting the K-type main sequence star CoRoT-8 1,050 light years away in the equatorial constellation Aquila. The planet was discovered in April 2010 by the CoRoT telescope.
CoRoT-14b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010.
CoRoT-16b is a transiting exoplanet orbiting the G or K type main sequence star CoRoT-16 2,433 light years away in the southern constellation Scutum. The planet was discovered in June 2011 by the French-led CoRoT mission.
CoRoT-17b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011.
CoRoT-18b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011.
CoRoT-19b is a transiting exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011.
CoRoT-20b is a transiting exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011.
CoRoT-23b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011.
HATS-11b, also known as EPIC 216414930b, is a confirmed exoplanet, or exosolar planet, discovered in 2016 and has been described as similar to Jupiter. It orbits the star HATS-11.
