CoRoT-24b and CoRoT-24c are similar in size; however, CoRoT-24b is more than four times less massive, indicating its low density. Dr. Lammer's team modelled the planetary system and found that the atmosphere should have already evaporated a long time ago. This led to the conclusion that CoRoT-24b is not as big as previously thought, being perhaps 30 to 60 percent smaller than initially measured.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sci-news.com/astronomy/exoplanets-smaller-than-thought-03949.html|title=Some Exoplanets May Be Much Smaller than Thought, Says New Study|website=SCI NEWS|date=June 14, 2016|accessdate=January 19, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Lammer|first1=H.|last2=Erkaev|first2=N.

CoRoT-24b is a transiting exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011 and announced in 2014.[6] Along with CoRoT-24c, it is one of two exoplanets orbiting CoRoT-24,[5] making it the first multiple transiting system detected by the telescope. It is a hot Neptune orbiting at a distance of 0.056 AU from its host star.[6]
Properties
CoRoT-24b and CoRoT-24c are similar in size; however, CoRoT-24b is more than four times less massive, indicating its low density. Dr. Lammer's team modelled the planetary system and found that the atmosphere should have already evaporated a long time ago. This led to the conclusion that CoRoT-24b is not as big as previously thought, being perhaps 30 to 60 percent smaller than initially measured.[7][8]
