is reporting that Corot has found its first planet. I can't find an arxiv paper about this, or even a press release, but there are many here better at squirreling out data releases than me. 1.3Mj, 1.8Rj so it's a very inflated planet, 1.5-day orbit around a 'star quite similar to the Sun' might account for that. In the Monoceros field (Corot is now pointing at the Scutum/Aquila field). |

A small update was posted yesterday on the CNES website. Thanks for the update Rakhir. tacitus, Here's what I got from Dr. Fridlund (ESA COROT Project Scientist) some days ago, when it was announced the discovery of water by Tinetti and co-workers: "COROT is progressing according to plan. There will not be any new announcements before we have had time to write a few papers and submit them to the journals so with vacations you are talking about at least 3 months. We have a lot of exo-candidates that we are beginning to follow up from the ground (I was myself in Tenerife last week and observed one of them). But as I said above it will be some time." -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
