CoRoT-11b
Hot Jupiter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
