CoRoT-1 and Its Transiting Planet
CoRoT-1 is a star 2570 light-years away with a spectral type of G0 V, a Sun-like, main-sequence dwarf. Its mass is 0.95 solar masses and its radius is 1.11 solar radii, making its reported radius estimate larger than the Sun's. The star's reported temperature is 5950 K, hotter than the Sun's. One known planet orbits this host.
That planet is CoRoT-1 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered by the transit method in 2008. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. CoRoT-1 b has an orbital period of 1.51 days, a radius of 16.7 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and a mass of 327 Earth masses, also larger than Earth's. Its mean density is 0.387 g/cm³, 0.0703 times Earth's.
