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).

By star vibrations, do you mean astroseismological phenomena, Climber? If so, I suspect that's where the real "surprises" may be lurking in the data. Fine-scale periodic changes in a given stars pulsation patterns might provide clues about the existence of planets much smaller then 1 Mj, but it would be one hell of a job of analysis...

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
