M. Fridlund, G. Hebrard, R. Alonso +45
The CoRoT satellite exoplanetary team announces its sixth transiting planet in this paper. We describe and discuss the satellite observations as well as the complementary ground-ba…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission - XIX. CoRoT-23b: a dense hot Jupiter on an eccentric orbit
D. Rouan, H. Parviainen, C. Moutou +40
We report the detection of CoRoT-23b, a hot Jupiter transiting in front of its host star with a period of 3.6314 \pm 0.0001 days. This planet was discovered thanks to photometric d…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission VIII. CoRoT-7b: the first Super-Earth with measured radius
A. Leger, D. Rouan, J. Schneider +51
We report the discovery of very shallow (DF/F = 3.4 10-4), periodic dips in the light curve of an active V = 11.7 G9V star observed by the CoRoT satellite, which we interpret as du…
CoRoT-10b: a giant planet in a 13.24 day eccentric orbit
A. S. Bonomo, A. Santerne, R. Alonso +47
The space telescope CoRoT searches for transiting extrasolar planets by continuously monitoring the optical flux of thousands of stars in several fields of view. We report the disc…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission XIV. CoRoT-11b: a transiting massive "hot-Jupiter" in a prograde orbit around a rapidly rotating F-type star
D. Gandolfi, G. Hébrard, R. Alonso +52
The CoRoT exoplanet science team announces the discovery of CoRoT-11b, a fairly massive hot-Jupiter transiting a V=12.9 mag F6 dwarf star (M*=1.27 +/- 0.05 Msun, R*=1.37 +/- 0.03 R…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory

The extreme physical properties of the CoRoT-7b super-Earth
A. Léger, O. Grasset, B. Fegley +23
The search for rocky exoplanets plays an important role in our quest for extra-terrestrial life. Here, we discuss the extreme physical properties possible for the first characteriz…
High angular resolution imaging and infrared spectroscopy of CoRoT candidates
E. W. Guenther, M. Fridlund, R. Alonso +16
Studies of transiting extrasolar planets are of key importance for understanding the nature of planets outside our solar system because their masses, diameters, and bulk densities…
