COROT-5b (previously named COROT-Exo-5b)[4] is an extrasolar planet orbiting the unidentified star COROT-5. It was first reported by the COROT mission team in 2008 using a transit method.[5] This planet has been confirmed by a Doppler follow-up study.[6]

Properties and location

This planetary object is reported to be about half the mass but slightly larger than the planet Jupiter[2] at 0.467(+0.047, -0.024) M_Jup.[7]
