CoRoT-7b (previously named CoRoT-Exo-7b) [3] [4] is an exoplanet orbiting the star CoRoT-7 in the constellation of Monoceros, 489 light-years (150 parsecs) from Earth. It was first detected photometrically by the French-led CoRoT mission and reported in February 2009. [5]

Mar 28, 2025 · CoRoT-7 b is a super Earth exoplanet that orbits a K-type star. Its mass is 4.07660518 Earths, it takes 0.9 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.017016 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2009.

CoRoT-7b, the first extrasolar planet that was shown to be a rocky planet like Earth. CoRoT-7b orbits a main-sequence star, CoRoT-7, of spectral type K0 (an orange star, cooler than the Sun) that is about 500 light-years from Earth.

Jun 6, 2013 · Discovered in February 2009 by the Convection, Rotation and Planetary Transits (CoRoT) satellite, a mission led by the French Space Agency, CoRoT-7b takes just 20.4 hours to circle its sunlike star, located 480 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros.

CoRoT-7 (TYC 4799-1733-1) is a binary star system made up of a late G-type star [1] and a M-dwarf star that was discovered in 2021. [3] The primary star has three exoplanets, [5] including CoRoT-7b, a super-Earth exoplanet that is remarkable due to its extremely high temperature (around 2000 °C) and very short orbital period, around 20 hours.

Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission VIII. CoRoT-7b: the first Super-Earth with measured radius.

Feb 3, 2009 · The new find, COROT-Exo-7b, is different: its diameter is less than twice that of Earth and it orbits its star once every 20 hours. It is located very close to its parent star, and has a high temperature, between 1000 and 1500°C.

Didier Queloz and colleagues describe how almost 70 hours of observations of the CoRoT-7 system with HARPS finally provided the sought-after result: CoRoT-7b is one of the lightest exoplanets detected to date with a mass five times that of the Earth.

May 1, 2011 · Here, we discuss the extreme physical properties possible for the first characterised rocky super-Earth, CoRoT-7b (Rpl = 1.58 ± 0.10 R Earth, Mpl = 6.9 ± 1.2 M Earth). It is extremely close to its star (a = 0.0171 AU = 4.48 Rst), with its …
