Exoplanet CoRoT-14 b size comparison to Jupiter

CoRoT-14b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010. ^[3]

Host star

CoRoT-14b orbits CoRoT-14 in the constellation of Monoceros. It is an F9V star with an effective temperature of 6,035 K (5,762 °C; 10,403 °F), a mass of 1.13 M_☉, a radius of 1.21 R_☉, and a near-solar metallicity. It has an estimated age between 0.4 and 8.0 Gyr. ^[3]

Characteristics

The planet is unusually dense (7.3 g/cm³) for its mass and distance from host star, making CoRoT-14b one of the densest gas giants known. ^[3]
