CoRoT-5b (previously named CoRoT-Exo-5b)[2] is an extrasolar planet orbiting the F type star CoRoT-5. It was first reported by the CoRoT mission team in 2008 using a transit method.[3] This planet has been confirmed by a Doppler follow-up study.[4]

Properties and location

This planetary object is reported to be about half the mass but slightly larger than the planet Jupiter[5] at 0.467(+0.047, -0.024) M_Jup.[1]
