Descripción
The CoRoT space mission routinely provides high-precision photometric
measurements of thousands of stars that have been continuously observed
for months. The discovery and characterization of the first very massive
transiting planetary companion with a short orbital period is reported.
A series of 34 transits was detected in the CoRoT light curve of an F3V
star, observed from May to October 2007 for 152 days. The radius was
accurately determined and the mass derived for this new transiting,
thanks to the combined analysis of the light curve and complementary
ground-based observations: high-precision radial-velocity measurements,
on-off photometry, and high signal-to-noise spectroscopic observations.
