    CoRoT-11b is a transiting Hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010. [4] . From obtained light curves and Bayesian inference on the data, it is highly likely that CoRoT-11b has been observed in a secondary eclipse around its host star (transiting behind it). [5]

    Host star

    CoRoT-11b orbits the star CoRoT-11 in the constellation of Serpens. It is a F6V star with an effective temperature of 6440±120 K, a mass of 1.270±0.050 M☉, a radius of 1.370±0.030 R☉, and a near-solar metallicity of −0.03±0.08 dex. [lower-alpha 1] It has an estimated age of 2.0±1.0 Gyr. [6]

    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.

    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-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.

    <span class="mw-page-title-main">CoRoT-1</span> Yellow dwarf star in the constellation Monoceros

    CoRoT-1 is a yellow dwarf main sequence star similar to the Sun. The star is located approximately 2,510 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.
