CoRoT-26 b: A Giant Planet in a Close Orbit

CoRoT-26 is a G5 star located 3410 light-years away. Its reported mass estimate is 1.09 solar masses, larger than the Sun's, and its radius of 1.79 solar radii is likewise larger than the Sun's. At 5590 K, the star is cooler than the Sun, and its age is 8.6 billion years. One planet orbits this star.

CoRoT-26 b is a Jupiter-like planet discovered in 2013 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. It has a mass of 165 Earth masses and a radius of 14.1 Earth radii, both larger than Earth's corresponding values. Its mean density is 0.323 g/cm³, or 0.0587 times Earth's. The planet completes its orbit in 4.2 days.
