Abstract:
The pioneer space mission for photometric planet searches, CoRoT,
steadily monitors about 12000 stars in each of its fields of view.
Transit candidates can be detected early in the processing of the data
and before the end of a run of observation.
We report the detection of the first planet discovered by CoRoT and
characterizing it with the help of follow-up observations.
Description:
Raw data were filtered from outliers and residuals at the orbital
period of the satellite. The orbital parameters and the radius of the
planet were estimated by best fitting the phase folded light curve
with 34 successive transits. Doppler measurements with the SOPHIE
spectrograph permitted us to secure the detection against binaries and
to estimate the mass of the planet.
