CoRoT-5 is a magnitude 14 star located in the Monoceros constellation.[6]
Location and properties
[edit]The announcement materials identify this star as located within the LRa01 field of view of the CoRoT spacecraft. According to the project website this field is in the Monoceros constellation.[3]
The announcement materials report that the star has a radius of about 116% of the Sun and a mass of about 101% of the Sun.[3]
This star is reported to be a main sequence F type star a little larger and hotter than the Sun.
Planetary system
[edit]The announcement states that this parent star is orbited by one known extrasolar planet identified as CoRoT-5b. The discovery was made using the astronomical transit method by the CoRoT program.[3]
