CoRoT-5b
CoRoT-5b (previously named CoRoT-Exo-5b) is an extrasolar planet orbiting the F-type star CoRoT-5. It was first reported by the CoRoT mission team in 2008 using the transit method.
This planet has been confirmed by a Doppler follow-up study.
Properties and location
This planetary object is reported to be about half the mass of Jupiter but slightly larger in terms of radius at 0.467 MJ and 1.388 RJ.
